Thank you, those communities aren't very serious so I didn't even think of that. Users on the lemmygrad screenshot community do seem to be spending too much energy on something they dislike but that's up to them. Better they have a place to contain it. As for the other I'm still not sure I really understand it but it doesn't seem like anything worth hating an entire instance over.

ETA: those are communities hosted here though, that's nothing to do with our federation policies. I guess their silence speaks volumes here.

Non-credible defense is pretty much just NATO- aligned defense/military memes. I could absolutely see some finding it offensive if the Russian/Chinese/Non-NATO military being competent and having good hardware is important to them.

But yeah, your edit was my point- I didn't see anyone talking about who we're federated with. Most of the people that voted no just didn't want to federate with anyone.
