Any reason we haven't federated with Lemmygrad? (aussie.zone)

Noticed they are quite a large server with similar rules to ours (Be respectful, no bigotry, no porn, etc). Looking at their front page, it seems pretty tame, just anti-capitalist memes and discussion. Is there a reason we have blocked them?

...while being federated with the fascists of exploding-heads.com

Good point. Why aren't they defederated @lodion@aussie.zone?

When I looked there previously it looked like a bunch of mostly harmless cookers. Looking again now, I see hateful posts such as this:

I've now defederated them. The NSFW focused instances are defederated to minimise potential legal complications, ie to protect this instance.

the Nswf instances are defederated.

Ah that explains why some post on other instances were complaining about porn everywhere and I had no idea what they were on about.

Visiting that site... I'm not sure what it even is? Astoturfing for cookers?

Or an NSA honeypot. Either way, it's easier for them when the cookers congregate in one spot.
