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

Both are probably true tbh. It's clear those people were artificially propped up and put into the spotlight by sponsors behind the scenes. On the other hand, all of them made/make numerous efforts to downplay themselves as "neutral" when they were already clearly entrenched onto the right and clearly knew what they were doing to at least some extent. They may be idiots but I don't think a simple act of manipulation like that necessarily requires being a genius.
