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

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 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.

Well they've taken over lemmy.ml?

Registration on Lemmy.ml is no longer open I think. Lemmy.world is leading the pack for active users (or close to it). Regardless, why would the admins of lemmygrad and hexbear not enforce their own rules on the normies?

I just went over to lemmy.ml and got called a Putler penis fellator or some such teenage insult.

You're going to have to have thicker skin then that comrade.
