Do we have an established practice for requesting defederation?
I would very much like to request that we defederate from burggit.moe (because I would prefer to keep my lemmy experience free of loli porn) and I went looking for the best way to do this, but the best I could come up with was posting to meta and that seems like the wrong place.

Not all that interested in defederation of the mentioned instance, but I’m curious about the DMCA justification. Do they have active requests they are ignoring, or is it just theoretical scenario for now?
What is the implication of this for future potential defederations. I don’t expect instances in Russia and similar countries to care much for western DMCA requests.
Theoretical scenario so in the future we can’t be hit by a giant wave of DMCA takedown requests for things we don’t manage. We’re already a relatively small team and can’t add the legal workload of a bunch of other sites. (If an instance complies with it it lessens the work we have to do since then the deletes get federated over) If it becomes a problem with some other instances we can purge their communities or defederate at worst case if its instance wide if they don’t want to manage it but burggit explicitly says in their instance description DMCA ignored while others dont
