Why did lemmy.world defederate from fosstodon.org ? (self.support)

I find it convenient and pretty cool that you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon by tagging the Lemmy community at the bottom of the Mastodon post.

I noticed a little over a month ago, this stopped working for me when I'd post from my fosstodon.org account and tag any community hosted on lemmy.world, and upon inspection, I see that Lemmy.world defederated from fosstodon.org

Threads.net isn't even defederated by lemmy.world, it's under the linked instances list, but fosstodon.org is blocked? What was the reasoning for that?

We probably should keep a record of this stuff somewhere publicly available so people can just look up these questions.

Most likely it was due to vulnerabilities, people setting up spambots, or posting csm, or something else of that nature. We'll need an admin to say for sure though, as I don't recall any announcement. Generally LW only defeds due to really, really noxious or illegal stuff though.

posting csm, or something else of that nature.

Fosstodon are just as vigilant against that kind of stuff, so I'd be surprised if it went under their radar and was posted to lemmy.world, but none of the other big mastodon instances had that problem.

I thought this kinda thing would be in modlog but doesn’t seem like it.
