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.

Exactly this. And the record of the discussion on Lemmygrad can (a) be linked on other instances, to avoid having the debate amongst die hard liberals, and (b) serve as a Q&A for people searching topics on the Lemmyverse.
That said, I have started to have discussions with others (some from LG, some not) on other instances and I just ignore the wildly liberal comments. It's hard for the anti-communists to brand us as monsters when there are public records of us having calm, collected conversations with each other that display none of the toxicity of the extreme right and centre (as horseshoe theory wrongly predicts we would exhibit).
Exactly. Conservative spaces are incredibly toxic, full of people wishing death on others for having the gall to be born a different skin colour or sexual orientation. Over here we are always in favour of minority groups, something libs claim we are not.
And the whole "Russian/Chinese bots" things falls pretty flat when most of our conversations are amongst ourselves as well. Why would China/Russia pay/program all these bots just to simulate conversation in the hope that some random US liberal will stumble upon a 3 week old conversation, start an argument and then get an angry response? Seems like a poor use of their time.
I mean, I've literally seen someone argue that Dessalines is being threatened with murder by CPC. I wouldn't put it past them.
Oh sure, some of them would insist it is completely true, because it means we're all here as a show just for them, the most special and important person ever. It strokes their ego.
But others will look at that and (hopefully) wonder about it. It is pure conspiracy theory logic after all, and if someone starts making the most absurd claims, some will hopefully realise how nonsensical they are.
