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.

    Do you have any examples of said libfash content in particular? You’ve made a pretty broad assertion here without reference to anything that backs up your view. I personally haven’t seen much in the ways of content that I’d regard as promoting liberalism or fascism on here (if any), in fact I see a strong and very healthy criticism of both liberalism and fascism of all kinds across the board, criticism that keeps people of those persuasions out of here, safeguarding our own political values and this space in the process.

    If keeping a portion of the community cosy means censoring criticism of fascist and liberal discourse then I’m firmly against it.

      They’re talking about posts dunking on libs/fascists filling the feed as opposed other stuff, not anyone promoting that

        This is the bread and butter of a Marxist view of life. Would you decry Engels’ Anti-Duhring for framing all of his arguments through a polemic of Eugen Duhrings’ utopian nonsense?
