This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

and federates with everyone world federates with

Not entirely true, I discovered the other day, while helping someone figure out why they couldn't access .ml communities, that .ml blocks furry instances...

Edit: https://lemmy.ml/instances includes Pawb.social and pawb.fun, they're also federated with instances that host furry communities.

Which furry instances are you talking about?

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

Yiffit.net, ani.social, and lemmynsfw.com. Those are the main defederations that I think are a little harsh.

Aside from those, most of the other blocked instances are pretty egregious (mostly pedophilia and alt-right) and SJW has blocked many of the same ones.

The only major server with less defederation is Lemm.ee.

Lemm.ee is pretty sweet and well run. Ml and ee are superior to world IMHO.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

Lemme.ee is great, lemmy.ml is toxic.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml -1 points 8 months ago

Never seen evidence of that...

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I'm sure you haven't.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml -1 points 8 months ago

Care to explain...

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

Will you just ignore what I say and attack me with a strawman argument? That's typically what I get for actually talking to lemmy.ml users. Not interested in wasting my time.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

So you generalise anyone that uses an instance. I don't think the problem is Lemmy.ml ...

I don't think you even see the irony in your post.

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

shhhhh

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Oh yeah, I forgot .world allows porn instances.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Aren't all three of those used for porn

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Idk about ani.social but the other two are. Ani.social has a general anime discussion community that was created as a replacement for the anime community on lemmy.ml and has rapidly surpassed it in activity. You're not allowed to link !anime@ani.social on lemmy.ml either.

Lemmy.ml admins would argue they host loli/pedo content, but ani.social would argue it's just mainstream anime content and it's part of the genre. I don't really know more than that, but I think it's a bit unfair to describe the whole ani.social server as being used for porn.

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 months ago

ani social was anime related, but the admins banned it because they dont really like anime and just tag reasons for censorship as loli, without evidence of it. I dont even actively contribute to the anime community, but was the driving reason why i moved from ml to zip. didnt want to have to deal with unsubstantial censorship with an actual valid reason.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world -2 points 8 months ago

On the other hand, I really would not be surprised if they did have banworthy content on there.

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

im not doubting the possibility, but not to even provide evidence to the servers admins is a red flag on pushing the ml dev/admins agendas without being transparent about it.

without a level of transparency, the same reason can be used to unjustfully ban anything.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

And their agenda is... hating anime?

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

not liking something enough that you will on bias remove things. In this case, it was anime, but it could basically be applied to any viewpoints said admin would have then if they were that quick to react to just anime. It's the action and how it was handled and less the topic.
