Where to make a /c for NSFL/WPD/LFO videos? (lemmy.world)

The /r's for NSFL/WPD/LFO type videos keep getting banned on, and users are looking around for some place to post them.

I feel this is an opportunity for Lemmy to get some more users and goodwill.

!crazyfuckingvideos!crazyfuckingvideos@lemmy.world might fit the bill, but I'm leery of filling .world's /everything feed with gore and that kind of stuff.

fedinsfw.app is another thought I had, but I doubt people there would want gore mixed in with their T&A.

That pretty much leaves starting a new server for NSFL.

Any other ideas?

Host your own instance if everyone bans them. Not only because of your control over the content, but because you will not burden their servers.

    Only correct answer. Where to host? That's the fun thing OP, YOU get to host it. Just register your name, address, phone, and credit card with a hosting provider and they'll set you right up, you can host all the gore you want.

    Unless you just expect some other person to host your content, but that wouldn't be very fair, would it?

    Why the condescending tone? 90% of users on Lemmy post things and have "some other person" host it. I personally don't enjoy much of the content they want to post, but in a platform starved for content (and easily user-filtered) I don't think we should be getting feisty with people wanting to post.

    People who want to post more than likely illegal content and let others take the heat for it, and then get mad when they impose rules so they don't go to prison. Let's be clear, you want to start a cat community go for it, love it. You want to post illegal content that can get the server owner's doors kicked down and hauled off to jail? Get outta here and host it yourself if you believe in it that much.

    Essentially, if you aren't willing to risk it yourself, don't insist others risk themselves.

    Honestly, fair and valid. But maybe op has not had it explained this way before? Only ever getting banned for "breaking the rules" without an explanation behind the rule.

    I see where you're going, and I get it. Honestly, this question comes up a lot and would be great to have an FAQ. New accounts wondering why they can't post horrific shit. I started nicer when I explained it, but it's been so many times now, and the posters who do engage have always been insistent that they can't possibly host their own stuff, that it's the mean mods who refuse to host it for them. Its different here, when we are responsible, and I wish there was a unified way to explain that.

    I've thought about it, but first no one would find it and then also those who read it are not those who would need to see it.
