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'd never heard of this instance, but the name kind of gives away that it's no big loss.

I can tolerate communists, but lemygrad is mostly just tankies

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 59 points 1 year ago

They're not communists anymore than North Korea is a democracy...

Anyone that tries to claim the USSR or China are/were communist regimes aren't worth listening to. They're either lying or don't know what they're talking about

Or they've convinced themselves into a massive state of cognitive dissonance.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Even worse, they revere current Russia and China as if they're communist, which makes absolutely no sense.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

They're the original lemmy instance iirc

[-] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Its the devs instance. They think the CCP is good.

[-] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Which is precisely why I don't donate to the devs.

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I don't think the CCP is good, would you donate to my fork?
