Hello all, Following the post earlier this week [https://lemmy.zip/post/1205213] on defederation, we are now putting the vote to the community. The question for the vote is: # Should Lemmy.zip defederate from EH (and Rammy.site)? You can vote by sending a message (click here) [https://lemmy.zip/create_private_message/303747] to ZippyBot with the following text: To vote yes, send #vote 1 yes To vote no, send #vote 1 no ZippyBot will message you back to confirm it has recorded your vote. These are the rules you need to be aware of: - You can only vote once - There is a minimum age on the account of 3 days. If your account is under 3 days old, ZippyBot will record your vote but it wont be counted. - If you vote anything other than the above two options, ZippyBot will record your vote but it won’t be counted. - The vote will last for 48 hours at which point it will be closed. - You must be a Lemmy.zip user to use the bot (PMs from accounts not local to Lemmy.zip will be rejected).

    I don’t like defederation, it’s pathetic that they can’t handle some instances not having the exact same culture as their safe spaces. But it seems to be catching on because users can’t block individual instances on their own.

    So I just went through all the communities on their site so I could see which of our communities are federating across and causing them grief. About 35 of our communities federate across and these only federate across because their users have specifically requested them to. of those 35, 2 or 3 contain controversial content that their users could individually decide to block if it offended them.

    Interestingly the also have known child porn communities federating across to their site (not from Exploding Heads) which they seem quite ok about.

    So I think the fact they federate with those child porn communities expose the real motivation behind this defederation effort - to censor political views they do not agree with.
