It has been about a year since I was last here on beehaw or the fediverse in general. Last time I was here the fediverse was a chaotic place where you didn't know if your home instance would last another week without randomly getting shut down. I am curious what has changed in my long absence.

Lemm.ee shut down a while ago due to the admins getting burned out, and a few new instances are around now. Otherwise its been pretty stable :)

Edit: oh! And we have a new compatible software on the block, Piefed!

    I remember piefed being basically a proof of concept. I think beehaw was considering migrating to it at one point. I might give it a try.

    I think beehaw was considering migrating to it at one point.

    We are going to be testing Piefed soon. If we believe it to be a better option than Lemmy, then we will migrate to it.

    Welcome back!

    Lemmynsfw disappeared earlier this year, so still a little risk and volatility

    I remember hearing about that one having moderation problems or something. Some nsfw sometimes made it through to sfw instances though that could have been a filtering issue with kbin which is an instance that also existed.

    They made their instance auto tag everything as nsfw, so not as big an issue anymore.

    No expert but things being NSFW isn't the greatest moderation threat to, well NSFW stuff. It's the ability to respond quickly when not legal in most countries images are posted. IE particularly age or willingness of the participants.

    Definitely, but they had a period where unmarked nsfw was ending up in everyone's feed when people forgot to manually add the tag, which was very annoying.

    The illegal stuff is a threat to all instances, regardless of NSFW, as accounts can spam it anywhere.

    yes but it's more obvious in other instances. IE much easier to tell naked or non naked rather than 17 or 20, or someone posting image of themselves vs someone sending something their ex sent to them before their breakup.

    Still all boils down to us as users reporting it correctly and the admins being available to resolve it.

    The latest post on firearms@lemmy.world is NSFW and has been up almost a day without moderation, despite being reported. So a lack of moderation can happen anywhere.

    That's still the thing though, yes both of those are factors, but at least in cases of NSFW content being posted to a non NSFW subreddit, the users and mods can tell at first sight of the content, that it doesn't belong. while a large portion of illegal NSFW content, is very difficult to distinguish from legal NSFW content.
