We should defederate from lemmynsfw (kbin.social)

The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance.

Pinging @ernest as well.

I believe one solution to this, is to add another option beside federation or defederation.
Since, if my understanding is correct, federated instances don't actually share content until someone subscribes to the community in the bad instance. The bad content is then shown to every other user in the first instance, needing every other user to block the bad content if they don't like it or forcing defederation.
But on the other hand, that means that someone does actually want to view the content since someone did subscribed to it. So my proposed solution is to limit the content of the bad instance to be shown only to the subscribed users and nobody else. Maybe either by the user when subscribing, to select a limited subscription shown only to themselves, or by the moderator.

Even of its only being shown to the subscriber, it's still being hosted by the local instance. This puts the local site at legal risk.

To apply that more broadly, wouldn't that mean more like, ALL nsfw would only appear in its own mag/only on the feeds of people subbed to it? That may be an interesting solution. People set out deliberately to look for it and even keep pron-specific alts, so it's not like every other subject, that would suffer massively if kept sequestered. Then all one would have to tackle is persuading people to tag all of it.
