Seems like a good enough reason to defederate.

Sounds reasonable, thank you for informing us. I support the proposed move.

Go for it. if you're running a lemmy instance and cant manage simple comms between other instance admins you really can't complain if they defederate from you. It doesn't seem very busy either with most of the posts being mirrors of other instances.

I vote yes

Why not? A quick glance shows it’s basically one guy spamming links to…himself?

This is why we can defederate. I’m for it

Okay, thank you for doing this!

No objections. It looks like a small instance. Can refederate if improved.

The admin seems related to some AI ad tech firm. Also I'm curious how they got lemmy.org. It was registered in 2020. I imagine it was registered speculatively.

Don't delay, defed today.

Yes, i agree too. Defederate!

I very much appreciate you communicating about this.

I agree that defederating seems like the right solution.

I found a mastodon account with the same tagline. Everything including the avatar, uploaded media and toots seem to be AI generated.

The unfortunate thing is that this has a negative effect on the Lemmy brand, even if not affiliated.

This gets into copyright enforcement territory, though, which I don't know if Lemmy is interested in doing.
