Almost everything on Lemmygrad top lists are posts showing lib/fash/libfash content. Like, I get that they’re mocking and calling out such content and absolutely not echoing those sentiments, but it’s still super depressing. Not an exaggeration, I see more libfash stuff from Lemmygrad than I see on Lemmy.ml or explicitly lib instances. Posted ironically or not, it’s super depressing and definitely doesn’t help my mood or my enthusiasm for socialism, and it’s not just limited to dedicated libfash mockery communities, but most major Lemmygrad communities are filled with libfash.
I definitely don’t want to antagonise anyone who posts that stuff, but IDK, I miss when Lemmygrad was almost all about sharing communist content, not sharing libfash, even in mockery.
Agree so much, I used to check lemmygrad every day and it was really good content. It feels so hostile and antagonistic now, and I check lemmy in general much less often because of that. I’ve started blocking some users who I feel are obnoxious or overly confrontational, and also a few entire communities. (I see another user in this thread has a similar list.) It does help some, but I really miss the lemmygrad of old. Maybe I’m wrong, but it felt like it got more hateful overnight when genzedong left reddit.
