Hello World,

Today, after careful consideration and evaluation of recent events, we have decided to defederate from Lemmygrad.

Regrettably, we have observed a significant increase in hate speech and calls to violence originating from the Lemmygrad instance. Due to the severity of the posts and comments, we are not waiting for the next Lemmy update that will allow users to block instances.

At Lemmy.world, we have always strived to foster an inclusive and welcoming user environment. However, recent posts and comments from Lemmygrad have clearly violated our server rules and, more importantly, our core values. We firmly believe that hate speech and incitement of violence have no place in our community, regardless of personal beliefs or affiliations.

As always, we encourage all users to report any content they deem inappropriate or harmful. No matter one’s stance in any conflict, Lemmy.world will always take immediate action to remove and ban any posts or comments that incite violence or propagate hatred.

We encourage everyone to continue engaging in discussions within the boundaries of respect and understanding. As we move forward with this decision, we remain committed to providing all community members with a safe and welcoming space. We appreciate your continued support and cooperation in upholding our shared principles.

Thank you,

The Lemmy.World Team

    They’re not communists anymore than North Korea is a democracy…

    Anyone that tries to claim the USSR or China are/were communist regimes aren’t worth listening to. They’re either lying or don’t know what they’re talking about

      Even worse, they revere current Russia and China as if they’re communist, which makes absolutely no sense.

      They’re communism as practiced, not as theorized. There is a bit of difference.

          As I said, communism the reality vs communism the theory.

            And again, they’re as communist as the DPRK is democratic

            Or would you seriously say that the DPRK is democracy in practice and not theory?

                  What, no. They follow the plans laid out by Marx. There just isn’t a mechanism to go from tyranny of the proles to true communism, so the get stuck.

                    So you’re saying the current state of China and Russia is “tyranny of the proles”.

                    Didn’t know being born as the son of a political official and basically spending your entire life in politics made you part of “the proles”.

                    Either you havent read the Manifesto or you’re unfamiliar with the CCP and similar.

                    It’s funny to watch tiny brain maga types try to comprehend basic logic though I’ll give you that

        It’s like efficiency of machinery and rotating equipment. It can never reach 100%, but you can try to get close to it. 100% efficiency and communism are both unattainable ideals.
