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

Admin removals not federating for groups they don't moderate is important, or troll admins could just delete everything in every group simply by spinning up a throw away instance.

Admins can also make themselves mods on communities hosted on their instance.

And the reason for the distinction is that communities often have rules beyond the instance. We host 196 for example, which is incredibly busy. I have no desire to watch all of the posts and moderate off topic posts or posts that forget to mention "the rule". So I watch for abusive users and other stuff that requires an admin, and leave the community rules to the mods
