Both host content that are against our content policy and have had issues with users from those sites entering our community crossposting content that violates our content policy. We are discussing defederating other instances as well. There is discussion of lemmit.online being defederated because it pretty much exclusively scrapes reddit content and reposts it, and some content creators have expressed discomfort. If there’s other instances that might be worth considering defederating from, just post and it’ll be added to the current discussion.

and before anyone brings it up, lemmygrad defederated with us.

This isn’t a dictatorship but I ask that you please behave in the comment section and at least try to understand why we are defederating.

    When all this settles down, I’m going to want to see a map of whose federated with who bc I feel like I’ve been seeing daily reports of instances being defederated. Preferably in the style of an actual world map showing instances as countries with their country size related to number of users.

        Interesting, though on iOS it’s not as useful for now, as it just fills the screen with a bunch of dots with no way to zoom out or anything, I’ll try taking a look on a desktop at some point, thanks.

      It should be noted that this happened like 10 days ago, and due to a major federation glitch this and the other post is just reaching the lemmyverse now. It’s weird, and probably kind of jarring for all this to enter the fediverse at once. I was so confused as to why no one outside of lemmynsfw was talking about our community meta drama, but I realized the federation glitch was why. More so at this point for those on other instances ,it should be noted that one should be mindful of the age of these events. If we do have to lock this due to the comment running its course though, we will but I am hopeful we won’t.
