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

It's always the "you're so blinded by propaganda!" angle that they all baa in unison while talking down to you. I'm so over it, tbh.

They have some secret source that they all know about that makes them more knowledgeable than everyone else. Because if they had to admit that wasn't the case, their worldview and arrogance falls apart.

"The US must be to blame for Russia invading Ukraine because I said so and I've only read books on the 'US bad' side like a real intellectual!"

Definitely. This commenter I replied to is now claiming that the US is responsible for this and that, but a quick search of all their claims debunks their stance. Could the US be bad? Sure, every single government will do some shady shit to protect their interests. For example, my country has been involved in sequestering and murdering protesters in recent years. Was it the whole government? Of course not, it was a local one with their own interests and layers of corruption because these things are complex. And likewise, I don't understand why they have to lie about what the US does and exaggerate it beyond reason, like going as far as to wrongfully blame it for other unrelated things. Just tell the truth! Why is it so hard?
