NSFW instances and federation (midwest.social)

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.

Defederation should be a last resort for problem instances. I don't understand why so many people are suddenly so defederation-happy all of a sudden. Turn off NSFW content in your settings and just block any communities you don't want to see. If it remains a problem down the line, then consider defederating.
