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

Seeing libs seethe about “too many tankies” is really funny. (lemmygrad.ml)

On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

i hate to say it, but i don't want the network effect taking off. in fact, that's a sign it's time to leave. is it possible to ever just have a smallish community where real discussion and ideas can flourish without the rest of the US dragging everything down to the lowest common denominator?

You can always just only stay here, the admins are great about banning the wandering reddit libs pretty quickly

It's like those guys who say "I'm not joining fediverse because it's full of weird people". I mean, good riddance

I guess you have to ask yourself, are we spreading ideas and looking to chip away at the predominant hegemony, or do we want to self isolate?

One of the nice things about lemmy.ml is that it starts from a far left perspective and as a result of reddits own unmaking, places normies in a position of no longer being the predominant opinion in the room.

This has two outcomes from what I can guess:

  1. Normies show up in droves, and their perspectives shift as a result of having to defend their point of view for once.
  2. Normies show up, but leave because they can't handle not being able to call forth the shibaliths they're so accustom to, and having their points of view challenged on equal grounds.

Or normies show up and take over?

You think they're going to take over lemmygrad, or hexbear? The thing about federation is that you can avoid the outcome you're talking about by only federating with communities that share our values.
