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
I agree with defedding from lemmygrad but if the admins are deleting comments because they don’t agree with then that’s worrying.
Now commenting deaththreats or bullying other users I understand why admins step in but if you say you like Windows and capitalism in your own community forum and you get your account banned well that’s not on.
Personally most of my comment wipes are from lemmygrad and Lemmy shitpost, never participated in the politics only shitposts and it’s saying stuff like “literally 1984” or “cars have fallen billions must ride Segways”
I think censorship in the Lemmy shitpost on World is far worse than lemmygrad lmao
