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!

Yeah, I don't think this should be left to the users to block on their own even if it is available in a future update. Defederation exists as an option specifically for instances like lemmygrad. Ever since I joined Lemmy, everything I've seen in the main feed from lemmygrad stands out as extremist. Most of the communities I have blocked come from lemmygrad.

The other side is that federation exists so you’re not tied to an instance if it no longer reflects your values. Why not move since Lemmy.world seems to want to stay federated? Other instances have lemmygrad blocked.
