As one of the people who just got here, I do kind of like that lemmygrad seems kind of closed off from the rest. Because lots of “leftist” places back on Reddit would eventually be taken over by SocDems or Libs once they got big enough, so just having a place where they just wont go seems nice. Dunno if brigading by libs is a thing that happens often here though? Haven’t been here long enough to know.
Back when the ledditor tsunami began, there was one person who wandered into a thread on lemmygrad, started complaining about lemmygrad, then started flinging shit at everyone who responded to them. It was kind of amusing to watch tbh.
Remember that anarchist who got banned because friendly starting the “discussion” from asking “why do you love mass murder”? I talked with him some more on lemmy and of course he doubled down, finally throwing the wiki list of “communist mass murders” which reach like over 150% of Black Book numbers with comment that it was good source.
While constantly asking me why we don’t like anarchists, lol.
Oh they’re here. They’re to us in our spaces as MAGA is to mainstream neoliberal spaces - they invade to sabotage, they seek to destroy. We could move to Mars and they’d send space drones with propaganda blasting from speakers.
I’ve read that too, but they can’t possibly ban lemmy.ml
lemmy.world hasn’t banned lemmygrad either but I wouldn’t place my hopes on that. Still, it’ll impossible to stop federating with them, you’d just be cutting off large numbers of people over some comments you can’t even see anyway.
Would lemmy.ml ever cut federation with lemmygrad? I feel like your average reddit refugee just joins lemmy.ml and calls it good. Plus the devs seem against segregating lemmygrad.
I don’t see this as being a bad thing. No sure could survive the massive influx of liberals that other sites are. Let these waves swamp over and when it dies down we’ll still have a culture here.
GreenAndPleasant managed this by creating a breakaway sub, GreenAndExtreme - the idea being that it was a pipeline, get the libs interested in Pleasant and radicalized in Extreme. Didn’t really work, then they managed a proper crackdown on libs in the main sub.
Not surprising. It was inevitable from the moment the floodgates opened
indeed

I’d assume the verification system helps with that a little bit

There’s a very conscious effort from the radlib cliques to close off lemmygrad
Yeah, I hear talk of a lot of instances wanting to block any instance that federates with lemmygrad.

I doubt it. The lemmy maintainers are MLs themselves. Hell, there are libs spreading FUD because the devs are le redfash tankies.

I believe .ml is just the domain name. Apparently Mali?
