Defederation from Lemmygrad.ml
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

Pretty new to the lemmy thing. Learning the do not and safe zones of the federation.
Lemmygrad is a bit of a rabbit hole from the outside view. Like, holy shit. That place got wicked dark super fast.
Lemmy really seems to be full of landmines. A lit of people here have no filter at all. I guess that's one of the downsides of having many instances with vastly different rules interacting.
Lemmygrad started that dark, nothings changed. It's only more noticed now with the half assed Reddit exodus. Problem is many instances are starting to be worse than Reddit ever was, which is petrifying to say.
@random65837 @Wage_slave Oh, Reddit had some truly terrible subs over the years. It feels to me like they only started cleaning up the site pretty recently. There used to be a lot more overlap with 4chan/8chan, and that’s where many banned subreddits went when booted.
They did, but went from being welcoming to the normal type of toxic users, they went the other way to become politically motivated gatekeepers, called everything that didn't line up with their political narrative "misinformation", and banned any and all the had any type of different opinion. While 100% being OK with people regardless of how toxic they were, as long as anything they said lined up with what they were OK with. Hardly a good situation.
I don't even know how to get on other instances. I'm on lemmy world and that's it. I think. Its confusing.
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.
Using the default web interface, you can click the rainbow star icon to view a post on the original instance. Or just type the site address into your browser and go there.
I'm on an app, so no joy for me until I figure it out. Prollh could in 15 seconds if I read a faq or something. But, I like to complain too much.
