Please do not say anything hateful to the Lemmy.ml [http://Lemmy.ml] admins or
the developers. Before commenting on this thread, please read the post
completely. — We (ani.social) have been defederated from Lemmy.ml
[http://Lemmy.ml] a few hours ago presumably for the reason of being “full of
CSAM” ...
Those of you that have your account on lemmy.ml may want to consider moving to another instance if you still want to be able to access ani.social.
That's really unfortunate that this happened. Are they planning on moving your posts to a different instance, like lemmy.world, or will they try to get people to come to ani.social for the episode interaction with Shinobu bot?
tl;dr is that the short term plan is to try to reverse the defederation. Longer term plan if that doesn't work is probably to try to resume posting with a user on a different instance.
The root of the problem is that the anime community on the lemmy-verse has more or less consolidated to this community for episode discussions. If you look at other instances, there is a huge drop off in activity when it comes to episode discussion communities compared to here. So, it would not make sense to try to move this community to another instance as that would pretty much destroy what has been built up here compared with just moving the host instance for the bot.
You're not wrong and I think that is exactly what chaorace's reply to me in that thread is worried about. Frankly this situation is really unfortunate and I don't have a good answer.
Communities on the fediverse aren't beholden to a single instance as well. If .ml admins can't come to agreement to refederate, y'all should contact the shinobu bot dev to start including links to ani-social discussions on this instance, and petition mods of this community to do something to help that transition (what that is? I dunno).
That said, I'm saying this having read these comments but not the og post. idk what the actual context to the conversation is, nor validity of the defederation, I'm just pro-democracy.
I of course can't speak on behalf of N3DSdude, but I'm in support of whatever the community wants to happen, happening. Just give us reason to believe it's actually a significant portion of the community please
