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 agree with what you were going to do and just ignore it and move on, since it’s easy to set up accounts on other instances anyway. I really don’t like the idea of instances being coerced into making changes like this, just on principle.

    I really hate how this whole fracturing thing is going across Lemmy instances. Forcing other instances to change rules the way that I’ve been seeing it just really rubs me the wrong way. It feels like it’s happening all over the place, and it’s turning Lemmy into a bunch of echo chambers. I wish there was some lighter form of blocking than defederation, like a default black that individual users to disable. It instances used something like that, I think things would be much better, since the choice would still be in the user’s hands.
