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.
I’m the admin of lemm.ee, I was notified by a user that your instance has this rule. I understand that such content has not actually been posted on your instance, but even the existance of the rule allowing it is enough for me to defederate you guys, so I am watching this post carefully.
I am not a user of this instance, so I of course have no say in how you set up your rules. Still, I would ask you to please consider that art depicting child sexual abuse is actually illegal in several countries. Perhaps even more importantly, such art can still be traumatic to victims of child abuse. I am fairly certain that the vast majority of people have no wish to ever to see such art. This is why I believe most instance admins will be defederating you if you keep this rule in place.

I am personally leaning towards removal, but if a majority of my users want to keep it, we’ll keep it.
