There's been plenty of discussion on defederation.

I propose we defederate no instance other than those with egregiously illegal content such as CP. Note that I know of no such instances.

As of the moment of this post, the only defederated instance is lemmygrad.ml, so voting Yea would refederate them. It's a genocide-denying Marxist instance.

Nay.

Is this two different proposals in one, though?

To explain my vote, which remains the same after gaining clarification.

While I don't think we should be too quick to defederate instances, I believe Lemmygrad is an important and symbolic one. Many folks including myself have concerns about even using Lemmy due to the political viewpoints involved in its creation. Defederating that particular instance says something, to those who join and to those who are a part of the community.

No. Right now the only defederated instance is lemmygrad. I'll edit to make it clearer.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification!
