I'm extremely happy to see this instance taking a serious stance against illegal content.

It seems like the wide majority of the community does agree that its important to keep ourselves safe from the legal repercussions that might result from browsing content that is often considered illegal.

As such I am expecting the full support of the community in defederating with lemmy.dbzer0.com, which has a large focus on open discussion, promotion and aiding of internet piracy. Piracy, of course, is a crime in most every jurisdiction, including Poland.

Following this, I would also suggest that we, as a community, look into defederating with lemmy.world, federotica.com, reddthat.com and kbin.social for promoting pornography. Pornography is, of course, a crime in Malaysia, Vietnam, The Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.

Pinging @ernest as well.

I keep seeing cries for defederation. do you people not understand the entire point of federation? dbzer0 doesn't allow direct links and thus is legal. the admin there is careful about following the law. there's no risk in federating with them. the guy running it was the guy running /r/piracy on reddit which remained open and okay.

though looking at your comment, is this a joke? satire? you stated that kbin.social should defederate with itself?

You're suggesting that kbin.social defederates from... itself?

maybe it's a satirical post?

The sad part is I initially couldn't tell the difference.

I'd point more to a troll.

In the interest of protecting this community from litigation this is the only sensible option

Don't feed the troll.

Just saying freedom of speech is also illegal in some country's maybe we should just close shop?...

This is satire right?

Everybody in this thread m/atetheonion

Sounds like you should defederate from Lemmy as a whole. Let me suggest this thing called Reddit, which I think you will enjoy. Heck you even sound like mod material, not going to lie.

Assuming this is satire... the only reason I can't be sure is because it's so similar to the sort of #fediblock stuff I see pop up on Mastodon, and they're entirely serious :)

But seriously... defederation is a powerful tool if an entire community is being awful or allowing awful behavior, but I see a lot of people recommending it because, like, three people bullied them. That's what blocks and reports and bans are for, folks. Let's give admins and mods time to solve problems in their instances first, instead of punishing entire groups of users for having chosen the wrong instance and now being unable to connect to the wider fediverse. (Just my opinion ofc)
