Defederation from Lemmygrad.ml
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 don't interact with lemmygrad much, and i don't really want to. so please could somebody tell me what sort of hate speech was happening there?
In short, there was a lot of users who were openly celebrating the attack on Israeli citizens and justifying it with the occupation of Palestein which is a very nuanced issue and situation.
I imagine given recent events that there was a lot of antisemitic hate speech coming from nominally pro-Palestinian people.
I think they were referring to the recent events in Israel in this case but the instance was problematic from the start.
I'm usually fine with interacting with people from all over the political spectrum, but genocide is way over the red line for me.
The amount of heavily upvoted comments there about white washing genocide, trying to deny it or somehow justify it was disgusting. I'm not talking about recent events but mostly those committed by regimes that called themselves communist, no matter how far they actually were from it.
I don't agree with communists in general but I also don't agree with many other ideologies. I don't mind being around communists if we can talk respectfully. But I consider tankies the left wing version of neonazies.
Lemmygrad doesn't tolerate hate speech, I browse it and the only "hate speech" I see is against fascists and landlords
Well you will love it there, then. Go hang out there.

No they are fascists through and through. Sure they don't like landlords but that's because they're fascists. We agree on some very minor things, and still think there are two twats.
"Sure they don't like landlords but that's because they're fascists."
What the actual fuck? Not liking landlords means somehow that you're fascist now? How very very stupid.
They don't like landlords because they're fascists. Not like in landlords doesn't make you fascist.
Ok, misread that one.
you contradicted yourself in the same sentence
New protected classes just dropped: fascists and landlords.
i meant generally oops
I always find this when talking to aggressive leftists:
"what's wrong with punching and hating nazis?" they say.
The problem is that they decide everyone and everything they don't like us a nazi and a fascist.
People who have to have that explained to them are either narcissistic, idiotic, or are complete zealots
Of course you mod a Jordan Peterson community.
So ironically he is a tankie.
You know how that works. There are no bad tactics; only bad targets.
