I've read a few posts from that instance and just no. I myself are on the left but both lemmygrad and lemmy.ml is just not places I go to.
Good to see that instance go as it didn't contribute to public discourse. Thanks for the practice work!
Id rather not interact with or even see a community that refers to the "working class" as subhuman trash. The mods and devs of lemmy.world are probably seeing even worse posts than what we have seen. Good riddence
Not a fan of defederations in general, but I can totally see why. Lemmygrad will not be missed.
What, you don't want to be accused of being unreasonable by people that cavalierly discuss the need to murder people to bring about the revolution?
I reported a comment stating that the US genocide of indigenous was "rightful conquest" and it's still up. I totally get defederating.
Well this is a shock, anyone know what kind of stuff they've said exactly?
Whatever the equivalent of a Chinese weeb is.
You can imagine the sort of stuff, capitalism is evil, the west is evil, tinneman Square never happened in fact there's no place by that name / it was all a conspiracy by the evil West.
Basically what you get is a bunch of 12-year-olds decided that they were political commentators. They've looked at the world and they're unhappy with it and clearly the solution is communism.
It would be funny, but they engage in brigading and it's annoying. If you want to see it sign out of your account and go to the instance directly.
Saying it's ok that Hamas beheaded babies because "settlers deserved it."
Also just fetishizing Hamas in general, made me feel violated and commodified being Palestinian American, by a buncha white folks who probably think chatscript is for people who are really weirdly obsessed with counting 2s 3s and 7s, nevermind being able to read MSA or understand Sham dialect.
What makes this conflict hard to stomach for many people is that there is no "good side". I'm sick of the people defending and downplaying Israel's genocide as much as I'm sick of people stating Hamas are freedom fighters that protect their kin.
i don't interact with lemmygrad much, and i don't really want to. so please could somebody tell me what sort of hate speech was happening there?
Thank god
This is why I have logins on several instances.
Finally, thank you.
Thanks. This is the way
Strong move.
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?
