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.

    Nobody gives up power willingly, with very few exceptions. I would say that is not auth specific.(Ironically Stalin tried to step down multiple times, we can debate the authetisity of those times elsewhere.)

    From a purely materialist pov, once we reach sustainable communism, the state is no longer required to manage material division. At that point, to be honest, I don’t know. I would like to think that a state without purpose would simple wither, but I think we all know that is highly idealistic. So I’m going to cop out and say let’s focus on getting there first.

    I’m an optimist at heart. ( Think Che’s quote on a revolutionary love) And I would want to believe that no one wants power if there is no reason material reason to pursue it. I also understand that is grossly naive and unrealistic. So how do we handle it… Man that’s a hell of a question huh? If you find a good answer, let me know?

    Che’s quote I mentioned with context: https://www.quotescosmos.com/quotes/Che-Guevara-quote-23.html
