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.
What’s the deal with lemmy.ml? I’ve noticed a more aggressive/4channy tone to it compared to lemmy.world but I can’t find any more information about it
Lemmy.ml is one of the major main Lemmy instances, and it has a bunch of the development crew for the project on the admin team and moderation squad.
The ML, incidentally, was picked to stand for Marxist-Leninist. The core Lemmy devs are very politically left leaning, but that usually doesn't cause many issues because there are enough instances running the software that you're not locked into their echo chamber.
Lemmy.ml will likely never defederate from lemmygrad, as the owners themselves are tankies. If you want to distance yourself, I suggest moving instances.
I would argue db0 serves that purpose better than .ml does, even if .ml contains the core Lemmy devs. All I talk with db0 guys about is internet privacy, Linux and open source software with a dash of advanced piracy.
As for unpleasantness, I find the constant Linux evangelism getting tiresome, even if it's apolitical.
The db0 guys are great. Just be prepared to listen to a lot of Linux evangelism. If I had to pick an instance to join outside of .ca it would either be db0 or startrek.website.
Did you ever think to yourself, that you sound like a madman? Do you really think that a Lemmy instance, of all things, are ran by the US FBI? Especially when the instance is european...
Oh btw, remember to equip your tin foil hat! I heard it was all the rage at lemmygrad & hexbear ;)
