Both host content that are against our content policy and have had issues with
users from those sites entering our community crossposting content that violates
our content policy. We are discussing defederating other instances as well.
There is discussion of lemmit.online being defederated because it pretty much
exclusively scrapes reddit content and reposts it, and some content creators
have expressed discomfort. If there’s other instances that might be worth
considering defederating from, just post and it’ll be added to the current
discussion. and before anyone brings it up, lemmygrad defederated with us. This
isn’t a dictatorship but I ask that you please behave in the comment section and
at least try to understand why we are defederating.
It’s a shame too because about 1/4 of the subs on lewd loli were from there (I think that’s how it works).
With all these defederations, have you guys considered making a SFW version of burggit (maybe burggit.social?) that can stay federated with everything, and moving the SFW communities there? Then this instance could be “loli containment”, so to speak, still accessible from the SFW instance.
Also, from the post on lemmyNSFW, it sounds like people from here were crossposting loli stuff to there? You’d probably have to really commit to the “obey the rules when on other instances” rule.
Even if we did do that, people would defederate us just in general, it’d also almost certainly be seen as us bending or breaking on our stances, by doing this we’re essentially saying that they have power over us.
If they have power over us, we are no more friendly to free speech and expression than they let us be. We will not bend or break on our policies. If it wasn’t for the loli’s they’d defederate us for other reasons, we’re not going to be pressured into ruling with a golden hammer and sickle like other instances do.
Not to mention, it would split up our own communities between 2 separate instances and put more work on us by having 2 instances to maintain instead of one. That’s extra manpower and resources we’d have to dedicate, resources we just don’t have and for an end goal that we have no desire to achieve (and is realistically unachievable).
Lemmy NSFW was loli friendly until the change in leadership as of today, posting lolis on their instance was not against the rules, so there’s nothing to punish.

Hope this helps to address your concerns.
yeah me. i wasn’t aware “persons under the age of 18” rule included drawings. i have no clue why they left it vague like that.
