Due to overwhelming support for unilateral defederation from feddit.uk, we will be doing so tomorrow at 8:30pm Moscow time. Please see the previous thread for context.
We wanted to give everyone a heads-up since after we defederate, numerous account actions and deletions will NOT update on the defederated instance due to coding limitations in lemmy. This includes:
-Post edits and deletions
-Account edits (bio, profile picture, display name)
-Account deletions
In the future this will likely be fixed, but due to the dev work required it’s not feasible to change in the short term. If you have any account or post changes you want to make, please do so before 4/27 8:30pm Moscow Time, or when this post is 24hrs old.
Thanks to everyone who provided their feedback. We will continue to fight transphobia and reactionary rhetoric on this instance for the safety of our users 
LIZZY’S IN A BOX IN A BOX
I asked to defederate as well in my small instance, but I think our admin is sleeping or partying because he had not answered yet. Waiting until Monday for him to answer before I’m going to make a fuss on the irc channel.
For convenience, that’s 1:30 a.m. April 28th in Beijing.
and 1:30 p.m. April 27th in Langley
Thanks Langley comrades for covering the night shift for us
As someone (unfortunately) from Biscuit Island, I approve.
Same, and same.
Good. No more of that instance and their “ccp” whining.
Using Moscow time is still such a good bit
before we defederate, can someone please tell them to suck me?
Hexbears should note there is a Fediverse memes comm on their instance:
what does this have to do with them sucking me
I didn’t vote either way but this was the right decision and I approve
I would like to voice a dissenting opinion that feddit.uk should not be de-federated and instead all
top level domains should be de-federated rendering the feddit 2nd level block unnecessary.UP WITH TRANS
UP WITH ENBIES TOO!
Down with CIS
in simple terms, what does defederating mean? I’ve never heard of this instance at all, so what would change?
