Since I'm an anime fan and this is not the first time I hear the Lemmy devs are not the coolest people I kinda lean onto believing their side of the story:

Typical

A while ago something similar happened on Blahaj, where they defederated from lemmynsfw claiming it contained CSAM as well, because of... /c/adorableporn, which has nothing to do with anything under 18.

I wish there was more backlash for idiotic defederations

Also perhaps a way to have a 'default instance blocklist' as a defederation-light feature so users don't have to create dozens of accounts until they find a host that doesn't end up randomly defederating from the usual suspects like lemmynsfw and lemmygrad. They could just join any of them and find the issue in their account settings if they wish for an unfiltered lemmy experience.

I'd agree with you on the default instance blocklist, unfortunately you'd have to get that past the lemmy devs and I don't see that happening before the heat death of the universe.
