My participation will be low here for the time being, but this is something that affects all. Brace yourselves.

Additional information that borderline fascistic instances like sopuli.xyz already exist (Finland NATO supporter), and lemmy.one (PrivacyGuides admin) is run by a US/Canada nationalist that defederated Lemmygrad day 1 and calls people here liberals.

    Agreed, someone merely mentioning they liked a community here started to get a mini brigade (post got 4 quick downs, I’m honestly surprised it recovered and came out positive). Deleted reply was something like “Tankies and communists are cringe”. Oh noes, M-Ls on a .ml domain?! How long until they notice the admin’s Che profile pictures haha.

    On one hand, a little co-ordination can go a long way against votebombing. On the other, I don’t want to encourage straight-up brigading.

      It’s quite a culture shock for lost redditors on Lemmy. They’re so used to their views being mainstream and basically unquestioned. All a sudden they’re not the absolute majority, and it drives them nuts. I’d advocate to just engage politiely without downvotes first, but if they brigade then we can respond in kind.
