USA is going full Handmaid’s Tale to outlaw pornography by defining “obscenity” in the broadest possible terms and OP is conflating that with a sudden apparent disappearance of significant amounts of NSFW content on Lemmy wondering if instances potentially hosted in the USA are trying to get ahead of it by removing/defederating such content, which is honestly probably plausible.
Edit: For what it’s worth, I’m outside USA and using an outside-USA instance and I don’t see any difference in lemmynsfw.com or elsewhere, so if this is legitimately happening and not just a brief technical hiccup, it’s probably either related to lemmy.world (judging by everybody here being from lemmy.world) or geoblocked in the USA specifically.
Out of the loop what’s occurred?
…dear Lord it’s gone, it’s all just gone…

Lol this bill will never pass, and there’s still plenty of NSFW content available on Lemmy.
