Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time? - eviltoast

I had an account on lemmy.one and now the instance has been down for a day or two so I made this new account. I also heard other small instances are dead or disappeared.

So which ones do you think will actually stick around for a long time?

ALSO, does anyone know how to get my subscriptions from lemmy.one and import it here? TIA!

    Surely keeping the csam out means someone on every nsfw instance needs to look at a whooole lotta porn, including sick stuff they really really don’t want to see. For no pay. I can’t see a way for that to last long so either an instance bans porn or stops moderating and gets defederated.

      Sure, but isn’t that something all of the instances will have to deal with, whether they allow nsfw content or not, I bet people will try to post it. And the trolls/sabouteurs will go for the sick shit.

        Yeah, true, although it’ll be a lot worse for the mods on nsfw instances where they need to make a judgement call about what crossed which line or not. That’s 10x more difficult than just deleting everything that gets reported enough times.

      I could see a better chance with one of the experienced porn Admins from Reddit, they have years of experience and are probably used to even worse shit!
