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 someone has gone that far left there’s really no practical differences between them and the far right anymore.

    You don’t know what left or right mean, do you?

    Leftism is against hierarchy, capitalism and the state. A far-left society would have no government, an economy where all participate voluntarily to the level they desire, no money system, no hierarchy or class system, and a generally tolerant attitude toward beliefs and attitudes.

    The right wing, however, values hierarchy, tradition and rejects progress and change. A far right society would be… Well, Nazi Germany. A strong state controlling all aspects of life, prescribing specific roles for people and rejecting, exiling or just killing those that don’t fit in.

    There is no similarity whatsoever. Horseshoe theory is bunk invented by centrists who know nothing about politics.
