Hello everyone, I operate an instance previously defederated by this instance known as lemmy.comfysnug.space and we were defederated because many people didn’t like our current rules.

Well we have since changed our rules and are no longer allowing the content that so many people complained about. So we were hoping to be able to get refederated with other instances including this one. What do people think, do we deserve a second chance to be federated again?

(I’m posting from a lemm.ee account because my main is on the Defederated Instance, there’s no other real way for me to do this).

    This issue has me kind of torn, on one hand I feel like people should get second chances in certain situations but on the other hand there are some things that are too severe to so quickly forgive.

    I mean the whole reason they were defederated is because they allowed CSAM (referred to as loli) which is a huge legal liability. Even though they seem to have changed their rules and no longer allow said content I don’t think it would be a good idea to refederate. If it were something different or less severe I would be open to it, but as it is the prior violations make it seem too risky in my opinion to refederate.

    Since this wasn’t something we voted on, it means it was done by @[email protected] or another admin, probably to avoid legal liability in Canada. Since the admins proactively took the step to defederate you need to talk to him in order to refederate

    I’d be in favor of this, personally. If there are now rules against the offending content and it is actively being moderated, then that’s solved the issue.

    Yeah, I don’t know man. If you allowed drawn child porn once I don’t think you’re the kind of instance anybody should give a second chance to.

    I’m forgiving but not to pedophiles

      First they came for the nazis, and I did not speak out for I was not a nazi. Then they came for the loli lovers, and I did not speak up because I was not a loli lover. Then everyone was happy because there were no more nazis and loli lovers.

      Oh no, the big instances are forcing their anti drawn childporn stance on us. How dare they defederate from an instance which explicitly allowed drawn child porn.

      Hating and disallowing drawn child porn is the real threat here guys. Yup, that’s the crap these big few force on us normal, average pedophiles
