tech.lgbt will be defederating from woem.men in two weeks time, on 15 January 2025.
While we have many connections of accounts between servers, we have received multiple credible reports of misconduct from the instance, including grooming and predation.
The scope goes beyond a single admin, and we feel that it is in the best interest of our members to block the entire instance, as opposed to a few individual accounts.
@Kimiko_0@mods Uh, does this mean we can't follow anyone from woem.men anymore? Or will individual follows still work?
@yayroos@Kimiko_0 defederation as far as i understand means full block, they won't be able to see us, we won't be able to see them, and any existing connections between the two will be broken. If there's people you want to stay connected to then either you or they will need to move to a different instance.
@yayroos@Kimiko_0 idk the details and I'm not a mod but based on the meta i did see this is a lot bigger than 'don't like' and much closer to 'poses a danger to general users' (again that's without having dug into it myself because meta is exhausting and I'm not a mod)
