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

Agreed, someone merely mentioning they liked a community here started to get a mini brigade (post got 4 quick downs, I'm honestly surprised it recovered and came out positive). Deleted reply was something like "Tankies and communists are cringe". Oh noes, M-Ls on a .ml domain?! How long until they notice the admin's Che profile pictures haha.
On one hand, a little co-ordination can go a long way against votebombing. On the other, I don't want to encourage straight-up brigading.
It's quite a culture shock for lost redditors on Lemmy. They're so used to their views being mainstream and basically unquestioned. All a sudden they're not the absolute majority, and it drives them nuts. I'd advocate to just engage politiely without downvotes first, but if they brigade then we can respond in kind.
