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
Your modlog shows far more removed content from sh.itjust.works or lemm.ee users in comparison, so why don’t you defederate from those instances as well?
It’s probably because the two instances you named have admins who actively try to moderate problems as opposed to joining in as with lemmygrad. But that’s just my take from it all.
Both those sites are larger than lemmygrad.ml so it’s expected more shit will flow from there. Unlike, however, lemmygrad.ml the admins of both those sites seem to try to rein in the chaos themselves, thus leaving the workload here on lemmy.world lighter, so there’s no need to defederate. The admins of lemmygrad.ml not only won’t control their mob, they egg them on.
Hold on, what did we do this time!?
Y’all are cool. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of claiming that Lemmygrad was defederated for any sort of outsized rule-breaking behavior from their users on this instance.
