Check the modlog for proof, a discussion post about moving this instance to an instance that shan’t be named now got removed for “linking to instance featuring pedo content”.

Ironically that exact possibility was reason for the discussion in the first place so seeing it happen this quickly is a bit funny.

Not sure how best to go about linking to said instance since it seems to get your content removed. DM’s would be the only solution I guess but not sure if those are checked as well.

    All they’ve removed is a post that linked to an instance that they had de-federated from. They haven’t really taken off any anime related content from the time I’ve been here so claiming it’s content removal hammer is overblown. I also don’t agree with the migration to the other instance. This is the largest anime community by far on lemmy, it’s where most new users will migrate to and other than not having access to Shinobu, there has been little to no signs of being censored or anything.

      Actually according to the modlog, some “mod” removed for “Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete • Gushing over Magical Girls - Episode 1 discussion” citing Rule 3 “No Porn”

      I mean the show is risque, but we’re starting to see nipples on Hollywood red carpets these days…

      “mod” being in quotes because of the uncertainty elsewhere in this post…

        It was removed by an admin, Arthur Besse. And in that specific case I can see both sides being reasonable - the lemmy.ml admins want it to be strictly SFW (that’s fine) and some anime fans want to discuss ecchi (I think that the show is ecchi? That’s also fine, really).

        IMO it’s just another reason why this comm should migrate - this is bound to happen again here, and again, and again, increasing the burden for the admins and displeasing the userbase. (It could be worse. Imagine now a hypothetical second season for Ishuzoku Reviewers.)

          …Aaaand the entries from the modlog concerning deleting my thread and post have been deleted.

          Wonderful transparency there…

          Fortunately, the bookwormstory.social entries are still there, so I could recover my scribblings.

      People come here because it’s big. It’s big because people come here.

      What if we went over there? What if we made the one over there big? Big, and entirely under the control of actual fans of anime who don’t dismiss the entire medium as porn, I might add. Wouldn’t that be better?

      In my opinion, the migration is sensible because:

      1. You need to know a topic decently enough to be able to moderate a community about it. And yet it’s unreasonable to expect the admins of lemmy.ml - a community about free/open source and privacy - to know about anime.
      2. There’s no inherent reason why this comm is the largest anime comm in Lemmy. It’s simply that this comm is three years old, from a time when “Lemmy” was mostly just lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, there was no other place in Lemmy to discuss anime.
      3. Lemmy as a whole benefits from redirecting traffic from larger instances to smaller ones. Specially instances unrelated to politics and tech. In fact, lemmy.ml’s admins asked users to use other instances not too long ago.

        Communities are best served by an instance more tailored to their content. General instances are good and convenient for people new to the platform, but they’re dangerous to communities. Think of all the beehaw.org communities that are effectively quarantined from .world users. Not that defederation is wrong, in fact I’m a huge supporter of defederation as a whole. But putting relevant content onto a more relevant instance will ensure that the community will be more likely accessible, broadly, to users regardless of defederation.

        If .ml wishes to not have anime content, that’s entirely their prerogative. It’s important, then, that anime be moved to somewhere that is is welcome, or else those in the community may find themselves without a community at any given time.
