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

    College commie phase? Maybe in the 70s. Not any more, we have more evidence now.

    Like, 90% of them are younger than HS, I’d put money on it.

    Incidentally, they banned me from their Instance, so that kid can’t actually see what I wrote. It’s such a counter-productive thing to their goals, banning me for arguing with them but then losing the ability to actually combat the things I say, is really, catastrophically fucking stupid, if your goal is to spread communism. Because now I’m a ghost that other people can still hear that can obliterate their arguments without them getting to respond, every time I see one.

    But, it’s also the kind of thing a kid would do. Ban what they don’t like.
