As an anime fan, l'm not feeling welcomed on this instance.

lemmy.ml arbitrarily defederating from ani.social without notice sucks because the shinobu bot doesn't work here.

Not just that, but if the lemmy.ml owners have decided that loli drawn girls are CSAM, then they could banhammer this /c/ at any time as well, because that's how a lot of female characters are drawn.

ani.social, on the other hand is only defederated from Threads, so in theory I could do all my browsing from there instead.

/c/Anime, and /c/Ukraine@sopuli.xyz are all I come here for anyway.

It sucks because this is the largest anime community by membership in lemmyspace, and I appreciate all the work we're putting in to make this community work, but that's how I'm feeling about it.

    I think that this community should migrate, but for a different reason: topic.

    The topic of lemmy.ml is privacy and free-as-freedom software. Most other content here is off-topic, including anime. It was fine when it was just lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, as you'd have no other place to discuss anime in Lemmy, but now the situation is different.

    And ideally, communities should be managed/moderated/administered by people who know well the topic of the community.
