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
Watching an overtly leftist site get it’s own panties in a bunch when a different form of extremism takes root lol.
Don’t get me wrong the leftism and communism that is allowed to just run rampant is sickening.
Still funny though watching you guys eat your own.
Amazing, Lemmy.world admins are giant cucks who try to censor other people based on their beliefs.
You can ban me all you want but I’ll keep coming back.
Can we get the links/receipts/examples?
I’m onboard with the post, and glad to see Lemmy working as intended. Making a post (instead of silently defederating) is wonderful. That said, I think its very important to say “because of comments like X[link] and Y[link]” instead of “due to severity”.
Imagine if the roles were reversed and the CCP was saying they’re “defederating from lemmy.world due to severity”. Members should be given the 1st hand evidence, rather than 2nd hand opinions/summaries.
I am always interested to read about different viewpoints but I don’t think I will miss Lemmygrad much.
