Tl,dr:
- ClubsAll is a closed source platform which fetches Lemmy content
- ClubsAll however does allow Lemmy instances to federate its communities (!clubsall@clubsall.com gives an error, see https://lemm.ee/post/44491669/15374449)
- Comments from ClubsAll do federate to Lemmy communities: (https://lemmy.world/comment/12828092 / https://clubsall.com/posts/what-food-and-or-drink-will-you-eat-when-you-are-senile-and-forget-you-already-had-it-the-meal-before-oD_s4)
- It is not possible to host a ClubsAll instance at the moment
What do you all think about this?
I dont like the idea of defederation from a free speach perspective. But ive said this before and ill say it again. One direction federation is not federation it is theft.
Surly we can establiah a federation policy (across as many instances as nessasary) with the following:
- No federating content to or from any other instance in a single direction.
- No federating sponsored or paid content that is not marked as sponsored in both human and machine readable format.
- No federating with any instance that does not follow these rules.
- No using content if these rules are not complied with
I think we need to establish these 4 as the prerequisite of a continued open and free fediverse.
