Hello World, Today, after careful consideration and evaluation of recent events,
we have decided to defederate from Lemmygrad [https://lemmygrad.ml].
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 actually don’t mind hexbears and lemmygrad.ml. It is a good reminder to have that just like the world, the internet is filled with shitty people/beliefs. Makes it easier to take the things you see with a grain of salt. I don’t want an echo chamber.
The only problem I have with them is that they sound like MAGA idiots with their “liberal” bullshit. I get irrationally irritated every time I see one of those posts. I’m still not entirely convinced that they’re not just MAGA hats pretending to be communists to make actual communists look bad.
