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 am always interested to read about different viewpoints but I don’t think I will miss Lemmygrad much.
Thank you.
I hold out hope that they will reform their values and can be refederated in the future, but I doubt that will happen.
I love how these posts always end up descending into a tankie bad circle jerk instead of asking for examples of hate speech.
BTW op, any examples of hate speech?
I was banned from Lemmy.world for a week after criticizing Israel. The pinned post accuses this server of supporting the Zionist genocide of Palestinians. Should I go ahead and close my account now? Is this a Zionst platform?
Edit: I know that this server loves to mass downvote any post that questions authority, but it would be much more helpful if you would verbally confirm that you support genocide, or at least start abusing me personally to let me know you think I don’t belong.

Holy shit, good for you, lemmy.world. Was wondering if it would ever happen.
Great news! Thanks
May I see the hate speech?
finally, ty
Pretty soon there will be no fediverse. And Lemmy will be nothing more than a CMS
Lemmy’s “the onus on moderation is on the instance” was always going to result in this. You can have an instance with really good content, and a really strong community, but none of that means shit if the instance owners decide that a certain brand of hate speech is ok. Now you have two options as an instance owner: Either blanket ban the entire instance, or expose your users to shit even reddit would have acted on.
Mastodon for all its flaws has a way better system for this: The instance owner AND the federated instance both get reports and can act on them as such. That way even if the federated instance refuses to moderate a post which breaks your instance’s rules, you can still deal with it. If an instance is consistently bad faith and the moderators are sick of dealing with them, that’s when you defederate.
The balkanization of lemmy continues
Well done, they’re truly awful.
Id rather not interact with or even see a community that refers to the “working class” as subhuman trash. The mods and devs of lemmy.world are probably seeing even worse posts than what we have seen. Good riddence

I do not approve of this kind of itchy trigger finger to defederate. Hopefully this decision is reversed in time like the piracy one was.
Honestly I sometimes wish the trigger finger was itchier. I think this should have happened back when hexbear was also defederated, but at least it’s finally done with.
That’s right. Let’s use de-federating as a fuckin downvote button.
Just filter out anything and anyone you disagree with. Sounds like a good, healthy plan.
If your instance cheers on genocides it needs to be defederated
100% agree. I wish they had a minigun defedder that could defed from those tankies a whiile ago 😵💫
Now, do you know how to read? Didnt they say that this was after “carefull consideration”? Get yourself some glasses my man! 🤓
Oh wow they said they gave it careful consideration? Case closed must be the right move. How did I miss that??
You are funny 😅
lol
Thank you so much, excellent news.
