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.
Respectfully, what would your preferred approach to religious practice be from the standpoint of the state? Permitted, banned, something more nuanced? Particularly concerning paganism. I have never heard an authcom’s position on this matter.
I think so long as it remains divorced from the material reality of a society, then do what you will. I personally agree with Marx that religion is a balm for societal wounds that would be better healed by fixing the material reality that created those wounds in the first place. Materially stable people are better emotionally equipped to handle the realities of existence without looking for dogmatic excuses for the world around them… I apologize if the latter half of that came off more harsh than I intended.
