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

    Is it still fine to call for the eating of the rich and burning of their capital, or did dotWorld decide to be a rightwing pandering platform for “enlightened” fence-sitters?

      I lean right and this garbage instance isn’t right wing lmao.

      You’ve just gone so far left you’re indistinguishable from an actual fascist and not what these leftists like to call fascist whenever someone says a baby has the right to life.

      Despite that, even these people know when to draw the line. I respect that.

        How does it feel to be actual, literal human scum?

        That aside, no fucking shit that the community of a social media platform made BY leftwingers FOR leftwingers isn’t majority rightwing. Next you’ll tell me an AA meeting has alcoholics.

          Feels good comrade but I think you missed my point which is that even the leftists here refuse to go full tankie. Furthermore, just because it was made by left wingers doesn’t mean they intended for it to become a strict echo chamber like Reddit or in this case, lemmygrad.

            Indeed - the intention is to curbstomp rightwingers so that they no longer exist, thus allowing a wide variety of actual humans to enjoy the platform.

              Absolutely juvenile response.

              Pretty sure there’s a divide here where people with empathy decided not to endorse violence vs people like you who get off to it.

              Peace.

                People with empathy spit on rightwingers, because by necessity rightwingers are scum only interested on burning everything down.

      FYI .ml has access to both .world and lemmygrad. Not adveristing, I’m just unaware of other such instances.

        I know, but that’s because lemmy.ml is the instance of the creators and maintainers of Lemmy - who are, by the way, socialists/communists (must I yell louder for the dumb ones in the back?). I’m thinking of migrating there, but I’ll fight tooth and nail against rightwing scum before doing so.
