    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
