Both host content that are against our content policy and have had issues with users from those sites entering our community crossposting content that violates our content policy. We are discussing defederating other instances as well. There is discussion of lemmit.online being defederated because it pretty much exclusively scrapes reddit content and reposts it, and some content creators have expressed discomfort. If there's other instances that might be worth considering defederating from, just post and it'll be added to the current discussion.

and before anyone brings it up, lemmygrad defederated with us.

This isn't a dictatorship but I ask that you please behave in the comment section and at least try to understand why we are defederating.

I think it's absolutely valid to defederate if the users from a particular instance have a propensity to violate the content policy here.

For communication purposes, I think it's important to clarify and emphasize that this is the case and it's not done for political reasons. Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but I always feel as though this is a slippery slope (e.g. defederating from the socialist instance, or the trans/lgbt instance). Personally, for transparency's sake, I think it's better to avoid giving the impression that admins defederate from instances that they simply dislike. IMO, the defederation process should go by a process that is clearly defined and a published policies/rules.
