NSFW instances and federation

I recently was scrolling through my All feed and noticed some NSFW content on lemmynsfw.com. It was blurred but I wasn't expecting it. What do you all think of this? Should we continue to federate with some NSFW instances? I'm personally OK with it as long as the content is blurred unless I click on it but wanted to get your opinions on it.

Edit: Completely forgot about the NSFW settings that everyone has. We'll continue federating with NSFW instances going forward.

I agree with most of the sentiment in these comments. Allow users to adjust filters & setting individually. Block individual users if they’re reported. Save defederating for hate speech, brigading, trolling, etc.
You can filter out NSFW content in your own account settings, so I see no reason to defederate from them.
- I have hide adult content checked and I continue to see tons of nsfw stuff from lemmynsfw.
  
  Then block those communities.
  
  Pretty simple.
