You have a lot more faith in The Powers That Be than I do. They're not nearly that smart, unified, or forward-thinking.

Oh yeah, I'm aware. I was more responding with the particular left-wing viewpoints that were fed to me by the establishment.
Such people have been surrounded by an echo chamber for years and years, they never hear any viewpoints other than what the establishment feeds them
Ah yes, the establishment that wants to (checks notes) abolish all governments and class hierarchy. How very establishment of them.
I'm into it. Added to the list.
We got overrun by Belgium. -_-
I mean, this is anime_irl, not animenocontext. Posting this here was intentional. :3
Lemmy is licensed under the AGPL, so they're required to share modifications to the source code. I wouldn't necessarily come out swinging at them, but you may want to inquire. lemmynsfw was also running a similar patch at one point, so it might be worth reaching out to them too.
There could be downsides that I'm not considering. I figure that:
- People going to porn sites normally don't have to register to see the porn, so requiring login is kinda jarring
- You can't tell if registration would be worth the effort if you can't see what the content is like
- It's hard to figure out what communities you would want to subscribe to if you're doing so from another instance
You should consider applying the patch that pornlemmy.com uses, so that people can see your posts and communities without being logged in.
Sure, don't underestimate them, but don't overestimate them either. They're still human, with all of the flaws that that entails. They're also subject to their own information bubbles, which get pretty bad when one is running a large organization.
