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
Thank fucking god. It’s exhausting being around people for whom any meme, any post, any comment, has to spin into how good communism is, how bad the libs are, how good China is, and how bad The West TM is. It is exhausting.
Communism good, therefore China good, therefore West bad, therefore Israel bad, therefore dead Israelis good!
What a fucking worldview
Most of them have never spent time living under China / USSR as well lol. I’d like communism in theory, and I still think there’s a possibility of it, but even just in Hong Kong the flaws of the CCP system of “socialism with Chinese characteristics” are very evident — and that’s barely with any of the actual communism in Hong Kong.
Communism in theory is amazing. But it doesn’t take the human animal into much consideration. We’re a highly competitive hierarchical beast. We strive for our personal will to power too much for a pure communist utopia. Basically, we aren’t ants or bees that can pull that kind of horizontal system off.
I’ve spent 23 years living “under” (what an odd choice of word: I’d use “in” myself) China.
What specific things do you think I’ve missed in my 23 years that you know everything about?
Israel is bad because its genocidal Palestinians and stealing their land, there’s no 2 ways about it, the land doesn’t belong to them, 75 years ago they were immigrants on a boat an now they treat Palestinians like the nazis did them. Everything I just said is factual. If you support Israel your a fucking scumbag
