    Look, I don’t know the federation rules of ani.social. But our instance, lemm.ee, has defederated literally only 3 instances. IIRC 2 of them are borderline CSAM instances, and the other one is threads.net. The instance intentionally has lenient rules on this stuff – defederation doesn’t happen unless there’s a massive issue of rule-breaking in lemm.ee caused by the other instance (e.g. spam/brigading) which can’t be resolved with diplomacy between admins. Hence defederation being considered the last resort.

    Also I’m not so sure about the claim that denying the Uyghur genocide and saying they think certain other things are genocide (don’t know what you’re referring to here though) is illegal in the EU.

      We defederated nothing but the .ml bouble including Hexbear defederated us because we apparently have something to do with child porn, NSFW is literally not allowed here…

      And genocide denial is illegal in Germany, many other EU countries followed that, but the majority of instances host with Hezner, wich has servers in Germany, so its legally problematic for EU hosted instances. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-criminalizes-denying-war-crimes-genocide/a-63834791

      Lemmy.ml also Spams the modlog and have been reported to engage in problematic federation actions. Hexbear is also Brigading a lot and lemmygrad is literally denying the holocaust from time to time.

        Huh. Well considering the actions of the German government this past year, I doubt they’ll be doing much about genocide denial this time around.

        This alleged holocaust denial though… you’ve piqued my interest. Lemmygrad, being an extremely communist instance, is almost always vocal about how the Nazis did a lot of genocide. It’d be weird for that to be there without immediately being removed by mods. Do you have any examples or quotes, perchance? I haven’t had a particularly good experience with lemmygrad users on average, but this would definitely take the cake.

        As for Hexbear brigading, that actually was apparently an issue for lemm.ee a long time ago. But the admins talked with the hexbear admins and were able to get it resolved. At least, on lemm.ee communities, hexbear users seem to be following the rules – usually it’s lemmy.world users breaking the rules sitewide (usually for transphobia, very recently some prominent users there were promoting pedophilia). But I think lemm.ee doesn’t ban users much regardless unless they’re extraordinarily uncivil and cartoonishly evil. There’s not even a modlog that I can find (pretty weird not to have a mod log).
