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
lmao an ml user mad about tankies getting defederated. Totally on-brand.
What’s the deal with lemmy.ml? I’ve noticed a more aggressive/4channy tone to it compared to lemmy.world but I can’t find any more information about it
Lemmy.ml is one of the major main Lemmy instances, and it has a bunch of the development crew for the project on the admin team and moderation squad.
The ML, incidentally, was picked to stand for Marxist-Leninist. The core Lemmy devs are very politically left leaning, but that usually doesn’t cause many issues because there are enough instances running the software that you’re not locked into their echo chamber.
Gold
That’s not true. At the time it was simply picked because the TLD was cheap.
It’s got a lot of tankies. Also, they’ll ban you if you say you hate tankies because they love tankies on .ml
lemmy.ml is like diet-4chan, they’re some of the earliest adopters of Lemmy.
I joined lemmy.ml because it was a major dev instance and heavy on privacy and security.
Unfortunately I do see a lot of “unpleasant” users sharing this instance and wish it weren’t so. I also wish it would defederate with lemmygrad as the users are insufferable and they spread a lot of false and nonsensical information.
I hope to not have to jump ship to another instance.
You wish lemmy.ml would defederate from lemmygrad.ml? The admins from lemmy.ml are admin on lemmygrad.ml so that’s never going to happen
oh
It’s not a big deal to “jump ship”. You can have multiple accounts and switch back and forth too.
Lemmy.ml will likely never defederate from lemmygrad, as the owners themselves are tankies. If you want to distance yourself, I suggest moving instances.
There’s an account migration tool someone made that could make this easier for you https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
I applied and will try out this tool.
Thank you!
Also the two instances are ran by the same admins. Lemmygrad is just their more mask off instance.
I would argue db0 serves that purpose better than .ml does, even if .ml contains the core Lemmy devs. All I talk with db0 guys about is internet privacy, Linux and open source software with a dash of advanced piracy.
As for unpleasantness, I find the constant Linux evangelism getting tiresome, even if it’s apolitical.
I might have to consider migration or joining
The db0 guys are great. Just be prepared to listen to a lot of Linux evangelism. If I had to pick an instance to join outside of .ca it would either be db0 or startrek.website.
I applied for db0 lol I’m going to try it out
I applied to iusearchlinux.fyi and the admins said no :(

startrek.website has been probably one of the most consistently pleasant and well-behaved instances. Don’t think I’ve ever clashed with em.
We’re generally left leaning but not evangelistically so.
Most of lemmygrad.ml are lemmy.ml users saying the silent part out loud on a separate instance so they don’t get lemmy.ml defederated.
I’d create a new account on an other instance in order to not be affiliated with those degenerates if I were you.
LMAO flat out using the nazi slur, you can’t even make this shit up.
