Defederation from Lemmygrad.ml - Lemmy.world
lemmy.worldHello 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 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
Meh. I hope that they have fun without this. They clearly would have benefitted from it.
I almost want to laugh seeing them unjokingly using the term ‘totalitarian’, which is usually a clue that somebody hasn’t been keeping up with modern historical scholarship. If they were writing in the 20th century then I could understand that, but being a totalitarian theorist in the 2020s should be pretty embarrassing.
Oh this is actually very helpful as I’ve been confused about the term “totalitarian” as it’s been used in so many different contexts it’s hard to figure out what it actually means. At best I’ve seen people use it interchangeably with “authoritarian.”
”Authoritarian” is another one — what does it mean? If you go by the dictionary, why doesn’t the U.S. get included?
Authoritarian is when they don’t like a state. The more the don’t like that state, the more authoritarian it is. And when they really hate it, it’s totalitarian.
Yeah it’s the same thing as calling a country bad or evil, but with a big word that sounds academic. You can get away with saying the most horrific shit here if it’s spoken in formal language.
