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

    I was banned from Lemmy.world for a week after criticizing Israel.

    What exactly did you say that got you banned?

      Modlog has some spicy stuff. I’ve made a shit post or two but this is next level:

      mod Removed Comment What if I told you that Israel was part of a Nazi experiment to solve the problem of “stateless Jews,” who were thought to undermine the authority and good order promoted by government. Turns out, all you have to do to turn a Jew into a Nazi is to give him a plot of land and tell him that it’s his inheritance from God. ! by @TrismegistusMx reason: Hate speech

      Look at my account and decide for yourself. I was given no communication from the admins of this server.
