Defederation from Lemmygrad.ml (lemmy.world)

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

Well, my point is that you can ignore hate speech if there's call to violence. There's a catch though.

The reason this is important is because I see many snow flakes use the hate speech excuse to ban people they disagree with. So, when you combine both, you basically don't understand the line. Calling for violence is illegal, so no way to excuse it even if you want to. But using hate speech just means you don't want to have an open discussion and would rather ban everyone who disagrees with you.

So sure, in a reasonable world, I'd agree with you. But I've seen enough where both hate speech and call to violence are mixed, as in cards, to ban everyone people disagree with.
