That is why I am asking for clarification around rule 1. I am sure many people would be glad to comply and start communities on other instances because of local laws and such.
It’s an extremely vague rule, is what my point is.
Comment on Please fix Rule 1.

Gonna be that guy. But just because something is legal in one place doesn’t mean it is legal where the instance/owner is located. And the owner is protecting their own skin, I would do the same. Can also be realted to the host.
So as others have mentioned, it’s better to find an instance welcoming this kind of content.

I agree that it would make sense to be more clear. But how clear? List of all things that are illegal? Just those things thay differ from “normal” laws? But then what are we to set as “normal”?
Think the best would be to state where the instance is located and what national and international laws governing it. For example “No illegal content on instace based on German and EU laws”.

Yes. I don’t see why this community cannot move to an instance hosted in a jurisdiction where this is legal.

OP’s point stands. If that’s the case, be specific about it. Have a rule saying no drugs. Otherwise rule 1 is just a vague excuse to ban anything and everything

This is a fair take. If world can’t legally host this stuff say so.
Now if it won’t do so, because the owner of world is some Puritan, then that also needs to be disclosed so I can immediately stop my donations to the sever.
