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.
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.
If I own the instance I can create thousands of bot accounts faster than you can block them.
