From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just want lemmygrad defederated. I geniuinely thought the whole instance is satire but holy hell

beehaw.org is a great instance which defederates from lemmygrad, i think :)

lemmy.ml probably won't because it's kind of the de-facto default instance where the devs can communicate to everyone. You're best bet is to create an account on an instance that blocks lemmygrad (like Beehaw that was mentioned, i'm sure others do as well)
