MODERATORS
I have to agree with Astrealix on this. Information should be free. But information and snuff videos are two different things. I want information. I don't need or want to be constantly exposed to gore content. And I don't consider myself badly informed because I didn't see one guy chopping another guy's head in 4K-HD.
A simple blurred image until clicked would prevent that, like it currently does with NSFW content.
I don't need you deciding what level of gore that I am allowed to see
More importantly, we don't need to be limiting the discussion of incredibly important political issues such as was just because the imagery is ugly. War is ugly, and reminding everyone of that is vitally important in preventing future wars. When we forget how ugly war truly is, we begin to allow for its glamorization. Much better for me to see the atrocities of war than for my children to experience them firsthand.
But they aren't. You're free to go to an instance that hosts those images.
Conversely if lemmy.world hosted gore, you'd be free to go to an instance that bans it. What a non statement.
I'm complaining about the policy. Saying I'm not allowed to complain about the policy, because that's not what the policy says, is dumb.
Let me make it clearer: I don't like this section of the terms and I'd like to hear their reasoning for why they made that policy decision.
Your reason for liking the gore ban makes no sense so I'm dismissing that as a possible reason for the admins' decision.
