You know that if your kbin.social account did not give you access to Lemmy content there would not be much left, right? You use kbin to access Lemmy content…

So because the rules we put on lemmy.world also match with laws - it’s because of the laws we decided to not federate with them? Not because we don’t want to deal with that kind of people in general? Because we personally don’t like bigots, racists and homophobes? And it wasn’t because we didn’t want to give them a platform here? Cool, I didn’t know.

Did you read that post? I don’t think you did because that explains the entire reasoning why it was defederated. Had nothing to do with them breaking the law.

Lemmy.world has rules that are up on https://mastodon.world/about - if posts from other instances do not follow these rules the posts will be deleted and if needed the user will be warned/banned. If there is an entire instance that might be a problem, they might ultimately become defederated. Yes this is the last option, but sometimes it’s also the only option. Mod and admin tools are quite limited currently and there’s just some content we don’t want to be linked with.

Ofcourse. We will come up with an official statement soon and then I will edit my top post to link it but honestly this action was a no-brainer. Unanimous decision from everyone involved.
