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
By being on Lemmy World you are also automatically on any other instance the server federates with. That’s the neat part, you don’t have to worry too much about it as a user.
And you are automatically excluded from any instance LW doesn’t federate to.
This is not true - each instance has their own rules. So if you are on Lemmy.world, you have their rules to follow.
You can talk to everybody in the Lemmy network but you are ruled by the rules of your instance.
It’s the same as being on Twitter or Reddit, you have to abide by their rules. The only difference here is that each instance have different rules so you can choose where you feel comfortable here.
