Hello I am sending you this message to let you know that lemmy.world, sopuli.xyz lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.blahaj.zone, and probably a few others as well have defederated from your instance due to concerns regarding illegal material, specifically the hosting of loli content and rules allowing it on your instance.

Thank you for your understanding.

I am not sure how to proceed. If this were just a single user instance, I would just ignore this and move on, but I have you guys to think about as well.

It seems like the crux of the matter is the subrule allowing “loli” content.

If it’s for the good of the instance, I can remove that exception, but I felt that such a thing should be put up to a vote.

    Here’s what I would recommend, I think it would be good to remove the rule exemption permitting loli considering it is actually illegal in the us due ti the PROTECT Act. Then afterwards because I know lemmy Instances won’t be so open to forgiveness I recommend changing the subdomain from lemmy to something else like lemmings or forum (can be whatever you want it just can’t be lemmy because that’s been defederated) and making the lemmy one redirect to that, then the instance will be able to Federate again and since the rule exemption that concerned everyone won’t be there you likely won’t get defederated again as long people here behave well.

    I can’t vote for any option here since I’m not a member, only make recommendations, I would recommend not allowing something that has a high probability of violating US law which could harm you legally. There have been people arrested for possession of loli before, it does happen.
