Could we get official word on what Kbin's stance is towards federating with Meta? (kbin.social)

I would like to know if I can feel safe here, or if I should pack it up and start looking elsewhere sooner rather than later.

If the kbin staff have already made there intentions clear, please let me know.

We somehow defederated with the nsfw Lemmy instance over a big nothingburger.
If we stay connected with those hate groups however, then I'm out. That's where I draw my line for support.

I thought we defederated with nsfw because of technical issues with nsfw images not being blurred properly, not the rules issue?

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

No. They defederated because people misunderstood a rule change and thought they'd allow cp imagery, which was completely false. They just loosened the rules for fictional content where the exact age of the character is hard to determine and some people took that the wrong way and caused a bunch of outrage posts.

What is the deal with defederating from that nsfw instance? I like having a feed that will occasionally have random nudes or whatnot in it, like r/all used to have. Is defederation the reason I don't see any of the lemmynsfw.com stuff even though I'm subbed to it?

Is there a place where you can see what instances kbin.social is defederated from?

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Yes. Their content isn't synced to kbin anymore due to this. You'd have to visit the actual Lemmy instance directly to see the content or use an instance that didn't defederate from them. I hope @ernest reconsiders since this was really a nothingburger anyway.
