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 a shame too because about 1/4 of the subs on lewd loli were from there (I think that’s how it works).
I appreciate your optimism, but it is not worth the extra manpower and financial burden it would put upon us to run 2 instances. As it stands, we run Burggit entirely out of our own pockets, and the costs to just continue running it are only growing. I also do not have the time to moderate another instance, which would (in my opinion) not be worth the effort that would need to be put into it. So, even if the idea is 100% flawless and would be executed and work perfectly. It would not be worth it to me or @Burger@burggit.moe to put on the substantial burden in making such an instance, maintaining it and moving our SFW communities over to it. That’s just a huge ask.
It’s unfortunately not pessimism on Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma there’s kind of 2 sides of the fediverse there. Instances which have a focus on speech, expression or some other variation of the sorts (much like Burggit). And the safe spaces which are closer to Beehaw and others. If you as an instance so much as federate with the “problematic” instances, you’re immediately defederated. There’s even a thing called “fediblock” which allows people to basically tattle on other instances for wrong think and have everyone in the fediblock network automagically defederate them.

Alright, fair enough
