There was a very recent post requesting a defederation with lemmygrad.ml.

The post was requesting it due to a large amount of anti Israeli posts and celebrations of the deaths of Israeli citizens both military and civilian.

I’ve checked the modlog in hopes of understanding why those actions were taken, but no note was left. I’d like to ask why those actions were taken. Thanks!

    The situation in the Middle East is very nuanced people with serious legitimate grievances on every side. Getting multiple view points we disagree with is healthy.

    This issue is very emotional for a lot of people. As a community we’re going to have to give some leeway to people reacting emotionally, before we de-federate.

      You’re absolutely correct, the thing I take issue with is no matter how nuanced the issue is, they are members of lemmygrad.ml cheering for the deaths of innocent civilians.

      No matter what the situation is, that’s really not ok and that’s why the user was making the ask.

        As long as they were saying it on communities on their instance, I don’t think that should be grounds for defederation.

        When people participate in communities hosted on other instances, and misbehave, that should be grounds for de-federation.

        We’re not going to solve world peace here on Lemmy. But we can at least try to understand each other

          If they say it on their instance and you can see it on yours, they’re not saying it “on their instance”, unless we get an option to block whole instances.

            FYI, users are going to get the option to block whole instances in the next version of Lemmy coming out in a few weeks.

          I can’t agree with your stance.

          I have no tolerance for bigotry, racism, trans hate or any other kind of xenophobic bullshit. If someone wants to hate someone who has done nothing to them, I would love for that person to get fucked.

          Too much hate in the world and tolerance of it does nothing to solve the problem.

      I just dislike that their collective emotional reaction always seems perfectly calculated to be to the benefit of the CCP or Russia, no matter the topic.

      They’re. Tankies.

      This isn’t the only issue they have genuinely brain damage level takes on.
