Hello World, Today, after careful consideration and evaluation of recent events,
we have decided to defederate from Lemmygrad [https://lemmygrad.ml].
Regrettably, we have observed a significant increase in hate speech and calls to
violence originating from the Lemmygrad instance. Due to the severity...
Totally coincidentally with a lot of .world coming out as supporters of zionist genocide and their narratives crumbling in real time as their parrot it after Netanyahu, Biden and people like this.
Cognitive dissonance between the bottom line of their "leftism" and the bootlicking was showing somewhat. Some of .worlders even had decent takes in some threads. Hey, maybe this is why they suddenly defederated, they seen some of their accounts molting liberalism?
As someone whose main instance is .world, I kinda expected this was coming ever since Hexbear got insta-defederated but I'm still disappointed. Anyway, that's why I signed up here.
That said, I noticed a massive disconnect between the ridiculous claims people make about ther interactions with Lemmygrad users and my own experience. They really will consider themselves as the most reasonable progressives ever and then claim harassment when their lib bullshit is called out.
No kidding. I binged the entire thread and nowhere in there do they provide any concrete proof of the """hate speech""" they're claiming, not even the admin. And it's not like they'd rather avoid coming here and taking screenshots because they did screenshot this one post. But the people asking for example get hit with a "iT's sO oBvIoUs", "iF yOu wEnT tO LeMmYgRaD aNd dIdN't sEe ThE pRoBlEm, yOu ShOuLd StAy ThErE đ€Ș".
But hey, I did see people claiming that they saw Lemmygrad users justifying the indigenous genocide by the US (!) and calling the working class "subhuman trash" (!!). Of course, no links or screenshots provided despite tht fact that other commenters ask for them.
Some commenters in the thread say that this might be politically motivated and, I mean, it obviously is, but they were downvoted to oblivion lmao
What a bunch of sad losers lol. Here I am waiting for Lemmy to implement actual account migration to move my memes/general purpose account out of there.
It's like theyre trying to push the limits bc they know they're mostly privileged kids and lib university students. Just a constant competition for the Boldest Opinion, except they're never allowed to tie it to an actual cause (unless its the worst one possible)
The big brained morons at lemmy dot world do realise that the majority of the world recognises the state of Palestine and considers what Israel is doing as apartheid, right? The world is not just the US and Europe. Yet again Lemmy dot world takes a stance that the majority of the world is in disagreement with.
Israel is an illegal, illegitimate, settler-colonial project built upon genocide of indigenous Palestinians, the continued oppression of Palestinians, land theft, and really too much else to put into words.
Oh no, I did a hate speech!
Fucking losers and baby-brain morons over there who should've stayed on their hugbox website. Nothing I said there is glorifying the murder of literally anyone, but if you want to know why anyone got murdered, it's very simple: lock people in a giant prison, starve them, bomb them, shoot them, deprive them of every necessity of life, and treat them as less than animals... and eventually they will say "fuck it. I'm going to die here anyway. I will make my oppressors feel a sliver of the pain I've felt." And there you have it. Pretending or lying or focusing on recent small-in-comparison deaths of Israelis is just further attempts to dehumanize and justify genocide of Palestinians.
Mourning is absolutely fine. But when your "mourning" becomes "these animals did this!" That's no longer ok or fine. You don't get to blame the oppressed for fighting for freedom or for fighting to just make the oppressors feel bad. I know people get assmad over this fact, but the fact is, every person living in "Israel" is oppressing the people in Gaza (specifically, and elsewhere too). That makes them not "civilians" anymore than Germans feeding the Nazi forces were civilians. You can argue laws and morality all day long, but when it comes down to it, they all participated in it to some degree even by remaining in Israel when other options were available. Too many people want to play the "but my grandparents came here" card, which I understand to a degree. They didn't ask to be born there, etc. But it is their responsibility to end the ongoing genocide, and if they don't act to end it, these recent actions by Hamas showed the consequences of inaction. And if they genocide more, there's only going to be more Israeli deaths. If the people truly value life on both sides or even just their own lives/families, then end the fucking apartheid state, reform Palestine and dissolve Israel. Admit that what was done there was an atrocity and reparations are due. None of this is saying "kill the Israeli Jews!" as those morons on reddit and world would claim. My solution, the one Palestinians and Arabs and many others worldwide want, is the one that leads to actual equitable peace, no more wars. Standing against ending apartheid, saying "they have a right to be mad" about Israelis, etc. is all in the opposite direction. No, I'm sorry, they do NOT have a right to be mad on a state level. Individually? Ok. Who cares. This isn't about individuals being pissed off their baby died. This is about preventing anymore babies from dying and if you're a sick piece of shit that thinks 1000 Israelis dying justifies bombing Gaza into nothing. Well, I can't say, or shouldn't say what should happen to people who say that.
The admins will now be struck by a feeling of immense boredom as there will no longer a wave after wave of reports related to liberals in their inboxes.
Oh this is actually very helpful as Iâve been confused about the term âtotalitarianâ as itâs been used in so many different contexts itâs hard to figure out what it actually means. At best Iâve seen people use it interchangeably with âauthoritarian.â
Most of their communities were blocked since months, thatâs why you didnât see much of them.
They finally admitted that they were doing a soft defederation from Lemmygrad all along. When I still had an account on that shithole, the GenZedong comm was mysteriously missing from search results and they never said they were blocking comms.
For most Crackers who haven't seen life outside their small circles of privilege. They think that they are working against "incitement of violence" by censoring protesters because they happened to irritate their blissful liberal circle jerk of a life which is far from acknowledging the distress of the downtrodden Third World.
One must imagine the ignorance deeply imbued with such people who think that succumbing to the Bourgeois Humanist Fetishes is what Peace is. What they do in reality is just the opposite. By promoting the obstruction of justice, by standing right on the path of the struggle of the oppressed against the oppressors in the name of peace. They rightfully collaborate with the oppressors. Justifying the cause of the oppressor.
Where was the peace when Israeli settlers were conducting ethnic cleansing just a few days before the Al-Aqsa Flood? Where was the peace when the Israeli Occupation Force was shooting Palestinian children everyday? Where was the peace when Palestinians were being forced out of their homes, their homes burnt and them locked in cages? Why is it that the day the collective rage of the Palestinians boiled over do the Settlers wake up, open their Instagram accounts and sloganize against Terrorism. Where were they to sloganize against Terrorism when Terrorism was being conducted by the Zionists against a native people?
The Hamas may have committed a few excesses. But they have 0 blame for punishing the settlers, for who are we to blame them for struggling against such severe Occupation?
Hey what I thought would happen shortly after they defederated hexbear finally happened! i was banned on .world for arguing in that thread for âtrollingâ anyways.
They never federated with hexbear at all IIRC (despite often pretending they did and then had to backtrack due to aggression); they pre-emptively blocked it.
I joined World in June of this year and immediately got sick of all the libs on there. I found this instance because of what happened and I think I'll stick to this one from now on
