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 expect you need to look in the Lemmy.World moderation log to see to what degree lemmy.ml users were or were not problematic (I've no idea either way.)

[โ€“] Gabu 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Moderation logs are largely public, you can check it yourself.

[โ€“] Piers 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could but I'm not the person who cares enough to want to look into it. I'm telling the person who does that doing so is a good idea.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, you also don't care enough to know the difference between Lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml so...

[โ€“] Piers 14 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong!

Good idea, if anyone can point me to it or to specific examples, I would appreciate it. Also do not care enough to start an investigation by myself.

Fwiw, I wouldnโ€™t judge an entire instance by a handful individual posts. Users will be users. But still, some evidence would be a lot better than no evidence. Plenty of evidence would be even better.

No one owes you anything. If you don't like it, move instances. If you want the evidence, go find it. It's pretty easy, and you don't need to be handholded to get there. You're talking like you're a decision maker for a decision that's already been made and for which you have no authority.
