There’s been plenty of discussion on defederation.

I propose we defederate no instance other than those with egregiously illegal content such as CP. Note that I know of no such instances.
As of the moment of this post, the only defederated instance is lemmygrad.ml, so voting Yea would refederate them. It’s a genocide-denying Marxist instance.
Nay.
“Everything that is legal” sounds good in theory, but isn’t great in practice. Holding instances to some reasonable minimum threshold is important to foster a community. We shouldn’t set that bar too low (or too high).
I have yet to see any reason to agree with this
Setting up an instance that is nothing but a bot farm that spams communities is “legal”.
So ban spam accounts and don’t fucking make it difficult for everyone else to rose other instances, especially those that aren’t even spam.
