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.

It's kinda fun watching liberals realize that Bolsheviks aren't leftists

I fully support this. I don't think instances that breed hate and radicalization should be allowed an audience.

I have seen so much propoganda, hate, and lunacy from that instance since I joined Lemmy.

Well, I already blocked any community and user I came across since the exodus in June.

Better late than never.

Keep up the good work.

They have been defederated on Lemmy World for months: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330

But you are on aussie.zone so they might still be federated and will explain why you see their posts and communities.

Thank you so much, excellent news.

[-] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

Excellent. Those people must be either deplatformed or confined. Thank you .world admins for being reasonable and based.

Man this lemmy thing is cooler everyday

[-] Geert@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

I can't even think of ONE good community on that instance

[-] ClarkDoom@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Thank you, some of the most toxic content in the fediverse comes from there and am happy that this server’s experience will be better now.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

I do wonder why we didn't defederate from them long ago, it's not like they recently started showing signs of who and what they really are, they've been very transparent about their motives since day 1. Still though good it was done now before they started spamming things here (not sure if they do that or if it's just hexbear that spams).
