I feel like reddit moved in next door.
Basically, it’s a really good reminder of where the mainstream views are in the west right now.
Not surprising. It was inevitable from the moment the floodgates opened
indeed
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.
There’s a very conscious effort from the radlib cliques to close off lemmygrad
I doubt it. The lemmy maintainers are MLs themselves. Hell, there are libs spreading FUD because the devs are le redfash tankies.
They’ll go back to Reddit in a few weeks. Imagine thinking Redditors can pull off even a slacktivist version of a general strike. These are people whose entire lives revolve around fascile dopamine hits.
Yeah, that’s what I’m expecting as well.
