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 love how these posts always end up descending into a tankie bad circle jerk instead of asking for examples of hate speech.

    BTW op, any examples of hate speech?

      It didn’t take a lot for me. I clicked on the link, took a look at the first post and there you go! Advocating for terrorism and defending genocide, and every comment is full of hate, using mostly language that is particular to dark corners of the internet where incels and fascists thrive.

      The comments weren’t responses to comments they didn’t agree with so it’s not like they got provoked or anything. The hate is inherent. Imagine what it looks like when someone tries to contradict them.

      For me, I’d like to be as far away from such resources as possible. They give too many negative vibes, and I’d rather spend my time and energy in places that have a possibility of a constructive discourse.

            wtf are you people incapable of backing up you extremely concerning accusation of hate speech with even a single example?

            Why not just say ‘we dont like them so we defederated’. At least it would be a believable excuse
