Why is the fmhy instance defederated from the lemmygrad instance? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Our instance is only defederated from one other instance and it's lemmygrad. My question is why? It doesn't seem like a hate group or anything as far as I can tell. Can someone fill me in?

I hope I posted this to the right place; still getting used to how lemmy works. If I should post elsewhere, let me know.

Wait, can we talk about this? Nobody said anything so I tought we were waiting until this server became a target to defederate them or something, I basically have everything from that instance blocked

Yeah we've discussed it more and we decided we're defeding exploding. As far as why we're defeded from lemmygrad, they're just known for causing problems similar to exploding heads and we just want to keep things drama free.

If you guys can link some bad posts that are actively encouraged by the instance then I'll add it to the blocked list. (This is why it isn't blocked right now - all I've heard is that it's just right wing, which doesn't constitute a block.)

Doesn't seem like it's the majority of users or people on the instance. From nbats on disc:

I just need more proof they're actually super malicious because most of the stuff linked was downvoted on exploding. in other words yeah shitheads exist there, but they don't seem to be the majority really

EDIT: after some further discussion we've decided to defederate. we'll be making a post sometime soon with a defederation policy.
