Typical

A while ago something similar happened on Blahaj, where they defederated from lemmynsfw claiming it contained CSAM as well, because of... /c/adorableporn, which has nothing to do with anything under 18.

I wish there was more backlash for idiotic defederations

Also perhaps a way to have a 'default instance blocklist' as a defederation-light feature so users don't have to create dozens of accounts until they find a host that doesn't end up randomly defederating from the usual suspects like lemmynsfw and lemmygrad. They could just join any of them and find the issue in their account settings if they wish for an unfiltered lemmy experience.

You state that you regret setting up a few communities in lemmy.world, but only state trouble with lemmy.ml. Did you have any trouble on lemmy.world, regarding anime communities?

It is annoying that you can't necessarily connect to all instances from your favorite instance, but this is also what makes the fediverse great compared to more centralized social media. Even though dessalines decided to delist ani.social, ani.social still exists and is still connected to instances other than lemmy.ml.

Although seemingly distorted views of reality coming from the main lemmy dev team do concern me.

LW has a huge userbase. You are better off joining up to ani-social or other small instances. (Like reddthat :P #shameless-plug). We like anime and h- content

FWIW, I've been very happy with lemm.ee's stance on defederation: very reserved and transparent.

Lemmy.world admins are power abusing bullies. If lemmy.ml is defederating for this then they are soon to follow.

Come to reddthat. We love anime and h-

It's been great and not that expensive using a VPS.
$6 for the vps and $1 for 40GB HDD.
Although the HDD probably is making my instance slow, to improve it it'd be $4 for 40GB of SSD, but since the instance is only for me I don't have any issue in waiting a few minutes.

Bot maintainer made a post over here.

tl;dr is that the short term plan is to try to reverse the defederation. Longer term plan if that doesn't work is probably to try to resume posting with a user on a different instance.

The root of the problem is that the anime community on the lemmy-verse has more or less consolidated to this community for episode discussions. If you look at other instances, there is a huge drop off in activity when it comes to episode discussion communities compared to here. So, it would not make sense to try to move this community to another instance as that would pretty much destroy what has been built up here compared with just moving the host instance for the bot.
