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.
It’s not just content though, essentially it’s bots.
The problem with bots isn’t just spam, a social network is defined by the interaction among the community…I think that’s a fair call.
I might be up for having unscripted LLMs on the network, but repost bots are like a weird smell… It’s not that big a deal individually, but it’ll make the community noticably worse
Lemmit’s not part of this community, though. Having access to another instance doesn’t make this instance “worse”, it just gives users here more options. If you don’t want to see it, you don’t have to.
