After an incident where anti-loli false flaggots got an account wrongfully banned for cp, ottman decided to ban loli by making false arguments similar to what 8chan owner jim watkins and gab owner andrew torba made.
Minds userbase is having none of it, and are actively calling ottman out for lying while demanding this decision be reversed.
new edit: ottman is having a meltdown, calling people bots and deleting posts.
edit: the mods need to consider banning the anti-loli spergs on this site for pointless infighting.
Its a hard problem.
On one hand you can say "just ban it" then you turn your service into the loli police, waste a ton of resources in a quagmire of edge cases, and probably still get blamed for the original sin if you miss any or don't agree with the busybodies who seek it out just to be outraged.
On the other you say "anything legal in the host country" and you open to accusations of child porn about which there can be no rational discussion.
dumb idea here but why not give the users a means to block tags user's or other filtering methods let them curate what they see and don't and give user's a means to add as an opt in suggested tags that the filters can use in case of a mis-tagged post perhaps even add common filter lists for those who can't be arsed to make their own
Not speaking to this issue specifically, but while this might be a nice feature, it will not placate those who want to shut down the platform for allowing views they don't like. It's not like they ever took advantage of Twitter's block function instead of calling for people they didn't even interact with to be kicked off the platform.
They don't want to ignore you, they want to silence you.
i know it's more to make it so those who are actually wanting to filter it out can and gives a convenient use the block list shut up to use
