Hello I am sending you this message to let you know that lemmy.world, sopuli.xyz lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.blahaj.zone, and probably a few others as well have defederated from your instance due to concerns regarding illegal material, specifically the hosting of loli content and rules allowing it on your instance.
Thank you for your understanding.
I am not sure how to proceed. If this were just a single user instance, I would just ignore this and move on, but I have you guys to think about as well.
It seems like the crux of the matter is the subrule allowing “loli” content.
If it’s for the good of the instance, I can remove that exception, but I felt that such a thing should be put up to a vote.
My vote is to remove the exception. For one thing, I don’t think anyone has ever posted “loli” content from this instance; at least not on the visualnovels community, so I don’t see this impacting any users. For another, popular opinion about “loli” content from Lemmy instance admins seems pretty clear. Personally, I have no interest in the content and would rather not see it, all moral and ethical dimensions aside. I think it’s likely the only reason most other instances haven’t de-federated this instance is because they don’t know about this instance or this exception yet.
The communities I can no longer communicate with that I care about are:
I don’t know how this instance would go about getting of the defederation list of these instances, though. To be honest, I don’t think it’s actually likely. But in my opinion, this is still worth doing before instances lemmy.comfysnug.space currently communicates with pre-emptively de-federate this instance.
