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 wish lemmy.ml would defederate from lemmygrad? The admins from lemmy.ml are admins on lemmygrad so that’s never going to happen

It’s not a big deal to “jump ship”. You can have multiple accounts and switch back and forth too.
Lemmy.ml will likely never defederate from lemmygrad, as the owners themselves are tankies. If you want to separate yourself, I suggest moving instances.
There’s an account migration tool someone made that could make this easier for you https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

Most of lemmygrad.ml are lemmy.ml users saying the silent part out loud on a separate instance so they don’t get lemmy.ml defederated.
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.

I applied to iusearchlinux.fyi and the admins said no :(
startrek.website has been probably one of the most consistently pleasant and well-behaved instances. Don’t think I’ve ever clashed with em.
I’d create a new account on an other instance in order to not be affiliated with those degenerates if I were you.
LMAO flat out using the nazi slur, you can’t even make this shit up.
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
It’s got a lot of tankies. Also, they’ll ban you if you say you hate tankies because they love tankies on .ml
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.
Gold
That’s not true. At the time it was simply picked because the TLD was cheap.
