It’s not so much the fact that they defederated that’s noteworthy here, it’s the fact that the admin chose to do so based on a misunderstanding and refusal to admit that they were wrong about something which is concerning.
If the instance just said, “we are noping out of all Porn and sexual based NSFW instances,” then there would be no drama. It needed no justification or explanation beyond that.
From what I read there it sounds like the admin is not okay with the idea behind the sub even if it didn’t turn out to be child porn. So, it started as a misunderstanding, but the reason to defederate is different opinions about what content is acceptable.
