So, I’ve been on an interesting journey lately to try and find a NSFW fediverse instance that fits my preferences. Found some unique ones that might work, but still not 100% sure they are “the one”.

It’s no secret that I’m furry trash, so, it seems like we’re off to a good start here at a place called “yiffit” ;D A large, endless gallery of high quality yiff is fine by me.

But I like other things too, i.e. socializing and memes, learning new stuff, etc. and I’ve had some pretty negative experiences with some overzealous, power trippin’ mods in the past. So, I’m curious about this instance in particular and its stance on moderation.

– How strict or loose is the overall policy? What is the stance on expression? What kind of content is going to be permanently off limits? If something rubs someone the wrong way, am I to at least expect a warning? Or an imediate permanent ban? Is there an appeals process? Will there be advanced notice of any major changes? How “focused” is this instance aiming to be?

I also understand that the fediverse is a relatively new concept, and not everything is fully established yet in many respects. More than anything, I’m just trying to pin down the culture of this place. I have no intention of testing these limits, but I am tying to guage just how chill this place is and if there’s anything else I should know before committing.

In my experience, furries tend to be a pretty welcoming bunch, but hey, you never know.

I’m curious what other people think their ideal “furryNSFW” instance looks like, and what they want to see going forward as far as moderation is concerned.
