When we say "this site", we're obviously talking about your profile page. Why does your profile page not allow porn?

I'm just going to take your response literally, because I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not. when you join a lemmy instance, in OPs case, lemmy.ml, or in your case, lemmy.world. your profile is hosted on said instance, and therefore anything you put on your profile is subject to the rules of whoever owns/moderates that instance. if you don't like it, move to another instance, or start your own, that's the benefit of a federated system!

My comment was a pun on your username in relation to the lack of clarity in OP's question. You being this@sh.itjust.works... quite plausibly "this page" would refer to your personal profile page. It would of course be ridiculous for anyone to expect to post porn on your profile page, but I committed to the silliness. Sorry it didn't come through.

LMAO, that's a thinker! True I am viewing this thread on sh.itjust.works so from my perspective that would be the website, lol.
