MODERATORS
 

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

You guys were still federated with Lemmygrad this long?

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's a bummer. I'm a serious Capitalist but I kinda liked the Tankies and Pinks, they brought a fresh perspective and occasionally produced damn good memes.

The good news is that since I moved to another instance I'll still get their stuff, kinda stinks for those of you homed on lemmy.world though.

You're not a capitalist unless you own capital

It would be good practice if admins would link a selection of the offensive material. That would allow both sides to debate how they judge such behavior.

Right now there are celebrating comments but I haven't seen bad behavior myself, even in heated debates. That let's me assume that many are thin skinned or unable to refute lemmygrad's political opinion.

If I understand lemmy correctly then banning lemmygrad will prevent its users from participating in any debate on a lemmy. world community. Does a lemmy instance exist that federated with everybody where important communities should be hosted?

Duh. They already have. It's there all day every day. Peruse it as often as you like, at your own convenience. You can even filter by removed posts, removed comments, and banned users:

https://lemmy.world/modlog

Modlog tells you all you need to know. Unless, of course, you don't actually want to know it and you're just JAQing us all off, lol.

Right now there are celebrating comments but I haven’t seen bad behavior myself, even in heated debates.

That's because the moderators here are very, VERY good at what they do -- which again, you'd know if you'd looked at the modlog.

No one knows what "important communities" are to you. Stop looking for mind readers and start looking for instances that do not defederate for any reason, because they are out there.

You're not trapped here. You have options. Take them.

[–] RenownedBalloonThief@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you actually read through that modlog? Lemmygrad is a tiny fraction of it.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's how I know about it. When I want to find something specific I filter by action, and then I simply skim.

It's a little time consuming, but not at all difficult.

The person to whom I was responding wanted a selection of offending comments, here it is:

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment

I will note that usually the number of removed comments is so low that one page, maybe a page and a half will cover a full 24 hour period.

From what I saw when I looked at it just now -- over five pages of removed shite in just half that time, 12 hours -- I support the admins' actions even more than I did when I first posted. And I didn't think that was possible.

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is no way to filter modlog by user instance. After a few minutes pressing Next for removed comments and ctrl-f for lemmygrad.ml I didn't find anything, but it looks like sometimes the instance url isn't in the text anyway so maybe ctrl-f won't even work here. It isn't actually easy to find these examples.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

It isn’t actually easy to find these examples.

Yes, it actually is:

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment

You now have pages upon pages of offensive content through which you may browse at your leisure, which is what that commenter to whom I responded was demanding:

It would be good practice if admins would link a selection of the offensive material.

And there it is. If you wanted to find lemmygrad-specific material in there, I don't think you actually tried because it is certainly there in abundance. I was able to find numerous examples just by hovering a mouse over the usernames.

[–] dipshit@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

Amazing, Lemmy.world admins are giant cucks who try to censor other people based on their beliefs.

You can ban me all you want but I'll keep coming back.

[–] sub_ubi@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Lemmy.world is run by the feds

[–] goldenlocks@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most likely yes. The worldnews community is evidence of this.

[–] sub_ubi@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

And they immediately blocked all the piracy communities. Most of the .world and .ee users sound like AI posts. It's likely a massive AstroTurf
