Yesterday, lemmy.blahaj.zone announced their defederation from lemmynsfw.com and argued that lemmynsfw don’t care enough about CSAM.

Although I think lemmynsfw is right about this, that’s not the point. I believe lemmy.blahaj.zone is an instance caught in the positivity echo chamber (to put it more roughly, circle jerk).

You can never interact negatively with their decisions or thoughts. Downvotes disabled. Admin literally removing any opposing view while keeping positive ones.

Admin removed the comment while keeping reply of it and commenting with Exactly this. Dear friend, we don’t know the main comment so how can we agree any of them?

IDK. I think it is very annoying for an instance built on diversity to have such reactions. Is it just me thinking like that? Am I the stupid one here?

Note: Posting this here so admins won’t be able to remove.

Edit: I guess I should add this. IDC should they defederate or not. I just don’t liked their behaviour.

    The community in question made requests for “child-like” content until the drama started.

      That doesn’t seem to have been brought up in the discussion prior to the defederation decision; maybe I missed something?

      If it wasn’t, then it probably didn’t inform that decision … and it doesn’t affect whether the blahaj admin was listening to what the lemmynsfw admin was saying, or acknowledging that their first impression was a mistake of fact.

        I think you are right, I tried to check the times and actions and posted in a comment below what I did find. TLDR, if I didn’t get the times wrong from the modlog and the defederation post, and didn’t misunderstand something, the whole child-like thing happened way past the admins discussing the community.

        In the comment I’ve directly pinged the mod too, so in case if they want they can add to it.

          You have it backwards. Defederation happened prior to the removal of the “child-like” reference. Per the explanation of the removal it was part of the community from the start when the definition of adorable was copy/pasted.

          I don’t know why you would assume the addition happened after defederation based on the time stamp of it’s removal.

        From the original post:

        a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isn’t a line I’m willing to walk

        That’s almost certainly a reference to the “child-like” rule
