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

    Communism in theory is amazing. But it doesn’t take the human animal into much consideration. We’re a highly competitive hierarchical beast.

    This is conservative propaganda. Human nature is entirely contingent on material conditions. Given a hierarchical system, like capitalism, they will act hierarchically. It isn’t rocket science.

    We strive for our personal will to power too much for a pure communist utopia. Basically, we aren’t ants or bees that can pull that kind of horizontal system off.

    You have been told this time and time again, but that’s no reason to actually believe it. Think for yourself.

      These are my own thoughts based on my personal experience with actual real people. It wasn’t derived from some literature. Have you not met people? We lie, steal, cheat, and mentally and physically harm one another before any economic system ever existed.

      Is it conservative propaganda that has turned every single attempt at communism into a top-heavy, authoritarian hierarchy?
