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

      If you support brutal totalian regimes, with your only excuse being “America bad,” you only use leftist as a label, not a belief system.

        But is ‘leftist’ actually a belief system? Left vs Right seems to me to be a political construct applicable to the individual country in question, if it can even be applied at all.

        Another words, i guess I don’t see the point of assigning “tankies” to left or right.

        Authoritarianism isn’t inherently non-left? After all, Robespierre was pretty authoritarian

          Why is them not being leftist?

          Bad phrasing on my part. the only thing required to be anti SJW is to be not a liberal. Socialism is distinctive from liberalism, concervitism, (heck, even mormanism), and a lot of other ideologys.
