This may be more of an “out of the loop” thing, but I’m new to this site and I’m noticing that lemmy.world seems surprisingly bereft of any substantial NSFW content. I’m surprised! Isn’t the adage that porn motivates technological progress?

What’s even more surprising is that the NSFW instance seems brand spanking new.

Is there some code-of-conduct thing which has prevented NSFW community growth? Or is it just a demographic thing where there wasn’t much/any demand until the Reddit exodus?

    I’m wondering what’s stopping folks from setting up CP and JB instances

    Even reddit and Twitter have problems with that

      It’s possible they are getting set up, but not federating. Hopefully not though.

      Spinning up an instance is akin to setting a web server. There’s a lot of personal information that gets tied to ownership of both domain and the hardware itself. This data is publicly known for those who know where to look at. Without the typical layers of privacy that shield anonymous users in big corporate services. Mostly due do payment information, whether you rent hardware or selfhost using some DNS registry rental from an IP provider. You’re out in the open hosting CSAM. You’d have local security forces in your home within the week in most developed and developing world countries.

      On top of that, your instance would be immediately defederated by all other instances. So you’d be the only one on the hook for that crime.
