Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

When I first joined Lemmygrad, I had the peace of knowing that everyone here is participating in good faith, unlike on reddit, which is full of liberals who will comment on everything just to get a reaction or a chauvinistic boner. The good faith here was a very welcoming thing, that even when I made a mistake users corrected me and gave me a second chance to rethink what I said, because they knew I wasn't here to troll and perhaps I was misguided or uneducated on a subject.

After the reddit refugee thing, you'd usually see them on communities that used to be popular on reddit that exist on Lemmygrad's instance (latestagecapitalism) or posts that got too popular, but now they shove themselves on every community here, even if its name was "LENINFANGIRLSCLUB1917" and had a picture of Lenin on every inch of it.

But now, since there's so many clueless liberals that came from reddit and don't know how to act, devaluate constructive discussions on for example if a theocratic force like Hamas should be supported against the Zionist entity or not, into arguments about whether the Zionist entity is a colony or not. nowadays if someone comments some shit like "communism doesn't work because of human nature." I legit wouldn't know if it's sarcastic or actual believers of that.

I feel this has a major negative impact on us and the community, it is harder for anyone old or new to participate here without being downvoted (idgaf about downvotes) or argue on whether Jeff Bezos eats children or not, and any new participants is instantly greeted with a death stare if they can't recite Das Kapital backwards in Hausi.

Anyhow, that was my rant, I personally believe that what we're seeing right now is just a wave caused by reddit, and liberals will either learn how to use Lemmy properly, or leave the site all together because they can't give comments gold awards. With all that I've said, I'm looking forward to the Hexbear federation horizon where we'll hopefully be dunking on losers together. <3

Don't let them go to your head and destroy our communities. There's a lot of action going on against places like this to wreck them and it shouldn't be this easy. If you see a fly in your house, you're probably not going to burn your entire house down. Rather, you'd think: 'Hmmm , that's annoying', and move on. If the fly becomes to annoying, you kindly show them the way out or slap them to death.

Yeah it kind of sucks. Just remember to smash the report button, all you need to write is "liberal" and the admins normally take care of them within the hour

Don't engage with the liberals, and especially don't argue with them. If they genuinely wanted to learn they would use the search bar instead of asking the same cliche questions over and over. They are intentionally trying to get a reaction to frustrate you.

The key is to make fun of them. They are not serious people deserving of respect and they don't respond to argument or fact.

Good rant. I hope that sense of good faith community is able to come back and that the hexbear federation bolsters the amount of good faith commenting.

But also, you can’t recite Das Kapital backwards in Hausi? smh my head.

The Redditor migration and its consequences

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I think you've captured the essence of it perfectly. We'll work through this and the community will be stronger because of it.

My absolute favorite genre of liberal wandering in here are the ones who uncritically just link the entire Wikipedia article on Stalin or Gulags or something as a “source” for their blatant anticommunism and western chauvinism.

Just so many things hilariously brain dead about that but its the confidence and naivety with which they do it that really kills me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I think it adds a little bit of excitement honestly, every post you can scroll down to the bottom and find some liberal with 20+ downvotes being dunked on by yogthos or dankzedong or any of us really.

i've been gone for a few months and the change and seeing liberals getting dunked everywhere i go is absolutely hilarious. i can't believe there are still folks like this in 2023

Sorry they’re bumming you out. Eventually, they’ll silo themselves in echochambers.
