Not many people will see this message, but... I think it is worth reassuring everyone that when you create your own instance then the choice lies in your hands. You get to decide what you allow or disallow, you do not have to agree to some kind of standard.
Of course, there are consequences for allowing some types of content. In many but not all western countries, it is true that loli counts as child porn. If they don't want to get in trouble with the law in those countries, then they will have to block your instance. This is understandable.
But I want to assure you that this is not the main standard. You can still interact with some instances in the federation where that isn't the case. You are not blocked off completely.
In any case, you create your own standard... your own policies to follow. I hope that you feel free to decide on that, and that you don't get bullied/pressured into going against that once you've decided. It's your choice to make.
Good luck out there in the fediverse!
