  1. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    All the governments of the world adopt elaborate methods of concealing truths which they consider undesirable, and inflict various forms of penalty upon those who spread knowledge which is thought bad for the population This applies especially to knowledge of the kind which is considered seditious, and the kind which is considered obscene. I shall not give instances, since, if I did, I should myself fall under the ban of the law.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)

  8. @edgeofeurope Rob, I’m not arguing for prudery, nor treating all nudity as pornography. Non-pornographic art, medical information, and education are obvious examples where nudity can be legitimate.

    I’m specifically arguing that Mastodon-branded generalist instances should not host pornography. I am also talking about preventing pornography from reaching people who did not deliberately opt into it by joining, following, or browsing adult-oriented servers and accounts.

    A free society can defend sexual freedom while still expecting explicit adult-only content to be properly contained.

  9. Hi guys! 🙂 I’m moving this conversation away from Burnout Café’s @admin account and over to my personal account. The admin account is meant mainly for administration, moderation, and service information.

    It was me who wrote the posts about #pornography, #moderation, #mastodon, and the #fediverse.

    I stand by my policy arguments, but I accept that one phrase was badly chosen. I should have referred to pornography generally, not homosexual pornography specifically.

    I am not saying that gay people or gay sexual content uniquely endanger anyone. That is not what I believe.

    My view is that Mastodon-branded generalist instances such as mastodon.social, mastodon.online and mastodon.world should not host pornography, regardless of orientation, and should do more to prevent unexpected exposure to pornographic material federated from elsewhere.

    Content warnings and hashtags frequently are not being used, notably when posts are federated from other instances where they don't apply the same rules as mastodon.social and mastodon.online.

    So pornography without any obfuscation can reach people - including minors - who did not knowingly opt into adult content.

    Pornography can be hosted on other servers in the Fediverse, but I don't believe it should be on servers that are operated by the Mastodon project, or that are likely to be perceived by newcomers as Mastodon-branded entry points.

    Burnout Café’s server rules show the kind of lower-shock, non-pornographic general space I am trying to maintain.

    I support LGBT+ people living openly, safely, and equally.

    My argument is about pornography policy on major Mastodon entry-point instances, not about opposing LGBT+ rights or expression.

    People are free to disagree with me. I am also free to argue for stricter moderation.

    I am happy to discuss the actual policy issues: consent, containment, age-safety, public timelines, federation, and the role of Mastodon-branded generalist instances.

    I am not interested in turning the debate into a trial of motives.
