USA is going full Handmaid’s Tale to outlaw pornography by defining “obscenity” in the broadest possible terms and OP is conflating that with a sudden apparent disappearance of significant amounts of NSFW content on Lemmy wondering if instances potentially hosted in the USA are trying to get ahead of it by removing/defederating such content, which is honestly probably plausible.
Edit: For what it’s worth, I’m outside USA and using an outside-USA instance and I don’t see any difference in lemmynsfw.com or elsewhere, so if this is legitimately happening and not just a brief technical hiccup, it’s probably either related to lemmy.world (judging by everybody here being from lemmy.world) or geoblocked in the USA specifically.
I feel double bad for people that, not only have to deal eith an abusive government, but also an abusive household. Doubt sadness. Especially when the abusive household members is threatning to use the fascist state’s law enforcement against you.
Oh sorry, I did that thing again where I discribe a bad situation, but really was describing my situation.
I don’t think it will pass this time… but people were telling me roe v Wade was safe when I was raising alarms a decade ago and now look where we are. The theocrats and facists mean what they say and they’re way more persistent and capable than people give them credit for.
Out of the loop what’s occurred?
…dear Lord it’s gone, it’s all just gone…

(Someone please just end me already)
Lol this bill will never pass, and there’s still plenty of NSFW content available on Lemmy.
Just like all the other horrible shit that’s happened that “will never happen” amirite
Yeah. It’s not like rich people will have trouble accessing their favourite flavors of pornography regardless of the laws.
They “can just grab them by the pussy” after all.
Not according to me, I’ve had a pretty good track record of predicting what will and won’t happen with this administration.

Some old fucking turtle spend 40 years of effort to do that.
If I had a quarter for every bill that passed that was “unpassable” I would have a pocket of quarters.
Bet you a nickel this bill won’t even make it out of committee.
In USA can see NSFW
sh.itjust.works is in Canada, FYI.
Yes, one poster speculated it might be due to them being in the USA.
