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
We are very much seeing the powers that be flexing a ton of influence right now.
Now I firmly and staunchly do not believe in any kind of dumb new world order or any crazy beliefs about Jewish people, but we are definitely witnessing a lot of very powerful people influencing this story towards a very pro Israel stance.
This is an objective statement.
You mean because people are pointing out that a leading political party in Gaza is organizing the slaughter of civilians?
While I don’t think your statement is false in general, it doesn’t really apply to lemmy.world defederating. This isn’t about support for Palestine, or even support for Hamas necessarily, but about calls to violence.
