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

    … It doesn’t matter what you call bigotry or calls to violence really, what matters is if you accept them.

    Apparently you do. Lemmy.world does not.

      I understand if you disagree with what I said but please don’t accuse me of accepting things that I don’t. I think abhorrent and repulsive commentary is, to quote myself here, abhorrent and repulsive. Quick question though friend, possibly unrelated, but please answer. do you see a difference in someone saying

      I can understand why this side would be angry enough to do some violent things, if you look at the history associated with the people they were violent against

      and

      this is a public call to violence, lets burn those people on the other side because after the history they deserve it and there will be more blood shed from us which I support

      this question is entirely hypothetical, please don’t read into it any more than what’s there. How similar are these to you? Entirely the same meaning? Different but fundamentally the same? Related to the same mentality but different? Or entirely different points of view?

        Those are different things to say, but in specific contexts, those differences matter a lot less

          fair point about specific contexts. i wonder if youd see a context in which the former commenter would grieve and condone all human suffering involved, while still being able to have that resolve about it?
