I am interested in zoophilia/bestiality and previously noticed there was a Zoophilia community hosted on this instance, that was removed when I checked the modlog with the reason, “against Lemmy policy.” However this instance also hosts BeastClub, which remains up. The Zoophilia community explicitly disallowed porn and was for discussions of zoophilia only, while BeastClub has hentai bestiality posted on it. Neither of these seem to be against the Lemmy NSFW instance rules on the homepage so why was Zoophilia removed and what “Lemmy policy” is this referring to, if not the homepage rules?

    Rule 6. No Illegal or Prohibited Content: The sharing or promotion of anything Illegal is Prohibited.

    Obviously laws around anything differ from country to country, but while fictional depiction of stuff like that is not illegal, promotion of real-life animal abuse definitely is. Hopefully I’ve clarified the issue.
