Rules update: we have removed the temporary ban on certain content now that our instance is better established.

When this instance was created, I put in place a ban on certain content that could get us in trouble in regards to federating with other instances since we weren't yet too well known.

Now that two months have passed I hope we have established ourselves as an instance with good moderation and have lifted the ban for most content.

There are currently two content categories that are still banned:

1. Underage characters & characters that very evidently look underage to anyone who doesn't know the character's lore (ie. 1000 year old spirit trapped in the body of a minor). This ban is permanent.

2. Content featuring gore, mutilation, death and non-trivial amounts of blood. This ban is indefinite but can be overturned once lemmy has better moderation tools and I find a way to ensure that by allowing this content we are not inadvertently allowing the glorification of problematic behavior or allow networking of malicious sadism.

Thank you.
