As you know, the Lemdit ethos sets out our stance on federation, notably:

Defederating from other instances is an absolute last resort and we will only do so under the following circumstances:

  • If their content has the potential to get us into legal trouble
  • If they are acting as an attack vector towards us

burggit.moe is unfortunately the first instance whose content has the potential to get us into legal trouble, since they are "NSFW & Loli/Shota/Cub friendly". This type of cartoon child porn is illegal in New Zealand and many other countries.

I have become more aware of them in the wake of vlemmy.net going offline, since burggit.moe were the only instance that Vlemmy defederated before their disappearance a day later: https://lemm.ee/post/794588

To my knowledge burggit.moe is the only instance that supports this kind of content, so hopefully they will remain the exception. I hope you can understand my decision. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

As it should be. I doubt anyone will be surprised or dismayed by the decision to defederate from burggit then. Hopefully other instances do so as well.
