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

And a lot of you pretend that you know more than you know, pretend that others don't know anything, and that a video of this one guy from 40 years ago paints a complete and accurate picture of what's going on today. And have the balls to talk down to everyone else.

Like the other commenter said, it's more that we disagree than that we are clueless. Just look at the comments section on that video and the way people who eat the video up handle that information about today. It's reminiscent of conspiracy theory group think.

Also weird that you only focus on the US about the horrible things it has done. I can think of other governments--including my own--that have done and continue to do horrible things today. It's not the gotcha moment you all think it is.
