As you have probably noticed we took a pretty hands off approach to moderating this instance. If something is straight up malicious we will remove it, if not we will let the moderators of the respective communities to deal with it. We believe everyone should have the right to their own opinions, even if we don’t necessarily agree with them and based on that we have not defederated from any other instance, till now.

Yesterday I came across what I would very much consider borderline, if not just straight up CP communities that someone on this server subscribed to. There was not just one single community, there were several on a singular instance. I told Sören about it and the instance has now been defederated and the communities purged. Hopefully there shouldn’t be any leftovers of it.

I don’t imagine anyone having an issue with us doing that, but we just wanted to let you know for fully transparency. We like for people to have access to everything, but some things are just too much (and rightfully illegal).

    oh my. i just took a short break and what do we have here? lol

    JK. i’ve seen other instances defederating from that place before. didn’t really think much of it because…well, i don’t really don’t go there. i also assumed they’d be getting stricter (because how tf is that allowed where their server is?). guess i was wrong.

    i think it’s a good call to defederate. also, i just checked the instance link at the bottom of the page and that instance is still there? i thought it would reflect that it was defederated?
