Graphene OS drops support for devices pretty soon after Google does. It’s not a good idea to buy anything before Pixel 6 to run Graphene OS right now (see https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices)

This will get better going forward since Google is supporting the Pixel phones for much longer (5 years for the Pixel 6/6a onward, 7 years for the newest devices).

The problem is that in my country those drawings are legally the same thing as child porn. As I said in the OP, I’m not making a moral judgement here, but as a purely practical matter that content is concerning to me.

Thats good to hear, will edit the OP to add it. I do think my post is a fair representation of the original update though.

In my mind there’s a big difference between NSFW and child porn, and where I am, that content is considered to be child porn. I’m happy to deal with filtering NSFW content for myself, but I don’t want to risk CP.

The reason I phrased the OP as a question was that I suspect most users here will have a similar view to me and be in favor of blocking servers hosting CP. If that isn’t the case I’ll happily go find another instance, I don’t want to enforce my boundaries on everyone else.

The problem with that approach is that it puts users here in legal jeopardy. Right now if I browse “All” rather than “Local” I’m risking jail time

I’ve been browsing through new as a way of finding communities to join. The NSFW stuff in that feed is unideal but easy enough to ignore, whereas content that could send me to jail is a whole different ballgame.

I wouldn’t bother with the concept of de-federation in a beginners guide. One of the most confusing bits of the fediverse to new users is picking a server. For most users, the one they pick doesn’t really matter, but talking about defederation makes it sound like a really important choice.
