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.

    As someone who recently posted into both communities let me tell you this one feels a lot less active already (see ani.social vs lemmy.ml). I absolutely encourage people to switch over, community fragmentation isn't a good thing in most cases and as OP pointed out lemmy.ml has made it clear that it's not the place for Anime/Manga communities.
