I really am a supporter of free speech and free expression, but I *really* wish you would ban people posting heterosexual pornography on your instance. Straight pride is not about publishing straight pornography. And it's especially a real pity because burnout.cafe is a big instance and pretty central to the Mastodon corner of the Fediverse. I really do not want to block your whole instance. But it's a real nuisance trying to Limit those accounts. If people want to publish pornography of whatever kind, they really should join or create focused instances for that. Don't we want to cultivate a more "family-friendly" environment that will attract a bigger public? Uncensored pornography on Free Open Source Software networks is precisely what "Big Tech" points at when they say that only corporate social tools are child-safe. And yet we *know* that it's not the case. It's already a certain workload moderating a Mastodon instance. If we don't sandbox pornography, when why don't we allow gore and other offensive content? I actually did a some six weeks of training as a moderator for PornHub, so I do have some personal knowledge of the range of content you could be exposed to if nobody moderates anything.
