So basically a middleman instance with access to both? I like that idea a bit.

That was the original idea, a SFW burggit.social that federates with burggit.moe. Now I’m more thinking that the threadiverse in general will have its growth stunted if puritans remain in control. The internet is for porn, after all. Eventually most instances should be ones with well-defined, liberal federation policies, while those with more restrictive or arbitrary federation will be relegated to the sidelines. One such instance is needed to get this process started though, and the sooner the better.

I can already see the posts "X is federated with Y! Defederate against them too or you we’ll say you support child rape!’

Eh, they can try, but I don’t think they’ll get much traction. There haven’t been any calls to defederate fmhy or vlemmy AFAIK. Users on the other current big instances aren’t going to see any burggit content anyway, so they don’t need to care. Admins of those instances likewise don’t need to care, as the content isn’t touching their servers and causing possible jurisdictional legal issues for them. If you take those two cards away from the puritans, they lose a lot of power.
