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
It would be good practice if admins would link a selection of the offensive material. That would allow both sides to debate how they judge such behavior.
Right now there are celebrating comments but I haven’t seen bad behavior myself, even in heated debates. That let’s me assume that many are thin skinned or unable to refute lemmygrad’s political opinion.
If I understand lemmy correctly then banning lemmygrad will prevent its users from participating in any debate on a lemmy. world community. Does a lemmy instance exist that federated with everybody where important communities should be hosted?
If you go to lemmygrad.ml and you don’t see anything wrong then maybe you should stay there.
That’s besides the point and rises the suspicion that this is somewhat politically motivated. You have to judge them on how they behave in lemmy.world communities.

No, the admins on Lemmy.world are tired of having to moderate hate speech and other violations of their code of conduct. You’re welcome to view that on the other instances if that’s your thing.
If you like it so much you can always make an account there?
Duh. They already have. It’s there all day every day. Peruse it as often as you like, at your own convenience. You can even filter by removed posts, removed comments, and banned users:
https://lemmy.world/modlog
Modlog tells you all you need to know. Unless, of course, you don’t actually want to know it and you’re just JAQing us all off, lol.
That’s because the moderators here are very, VERY good at what they do – which again, you’d know if you’d looked at the modlog.
No one knows what “important communities” are to you. Stop looking for mind readers and start looking for instances that do not defederate for any reason, because they are out there.
You’re not trapped here. You have options. Take them.
There is no way to filter modlog by user instance. After a few minutes pressing Next for removed comments and ctrl-f for lemmygrad.ml I didn’t find anything, but it looks like sometimes the instance url isn’t in the text anyway so maybe ctrl-f won’t even work here. It isn’t actually easy to find these examples.
Yes, it actually is:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment
You now have pages upon pages of offensive content through which you may browse at your leisure, which is what that commenter to whom I responded was demanding:
And there it is. If you wanted to find lemmygrad-specific material in there, I don’t think you actually tried because it is certainly there in abundance. I was able to find numerous examples just by hovering a mouse over the usernames.
Have you actually read through that modlog? Lemmygrad is a tiny fraction of it.
Yes, that’s how I know about it. When I want to find something specific I filter by action, and then I simply skim.
It’s a little time consuming, but not at all difficult.
The person to whom I was responding wanted a selection of offending comments, here it is:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment
I will note that usually the number of removed comments is so low that one page, maybe a page and a half will cover a full 24 hour period.
From what I saw when I looked at it just now – over five pages of removed shite in just half that time, 12 hours – I support the admins’ actions even more than I did when I first posted. And I didn’t think that was possible.
People celebrating dead Israelis because west=bad is not offensive to you?
What’s the bet posts celebrating dead Palestinians won’t be considered offensive to anyone?
Red fascism playbook: when there’s nothing bad to accuse leftists of, make up some future offense
It really is just false dichotomy all the way down with you guys

Are you paying the bills? No? Are you doing the moderation? No? Are you doing any work for this site in any meaningful capacity? No?
Then fuck off and shut the fuck up about how they run it. Go to lemmygrad.ml if you think there’s no bad behaviour there.
