With the Reddit exodus, there's been a significant increase in the number of bad-faith liberals commenting on communities like LSC. I don't personally think we should ban liberals from all communities if they're being respectful, but immediate hostility breaks the instance's third rule and seeing it everywhere might make some users uncomfortable. In particular, the bigger communities that only have admins as mods (I get the feeling that they have a lot to deal with already) or have inactive mods might need some help

no 100% agree, that post on greta earlier blew up out of no where, lot of hapless libs wandering in (maybe not even knowing exactly where they are)

It is wonderful to see their disgust and anger when they realise they are in lemmygrad.

It has limits though, there was a post recently where the libs hit critical mass and were replying to each other to "ignore the tankies"

once they can establish an echo chamber, any education or "dunking on" is useless as they'll back each other up. Just look at worldnews, it's a cesspit right now. 100% pure lib.

We need more mods in main communities if lib infestation is severe. It is our instance and anyone commenting should follow our rules. And there should be some kind of rapid action group to deploy when ever our posts blow up in the fediverse. Countering insane libshit and report trolls. Organic ways of moderation are not enough as we can see in the case of worldnews.

yes, the meltdowns tend to be pretty funny

I think this is happening increasingly. Some new users don't seem to understand federation. They think it's just an advert-free Reddit and wander anywhere they like thinking it's the same all over. They should be wandering, like, but they'll have to get used to the fact that instances as well as communities have rules.

For example, someone made a comment on an article posted in !learnspanish@lemmygrad.ml. Now, I'm no expert, hence being on a language learning community, but it seems like liberal anti-communism to me. I think liberals see the content of our communities and come in thinking they can bring their liberalism to bear on the subject, without realising that all content here comes under the auspices of Marxism.

Well our LSC community even have the same pfp (edit, seems we don't, but i remember it it was something like that when i was there last time) as the reddit LSC sub so i guess they thought it's one of theirs.

Lol I'm one of y'all and still thought that post was on lemmy.ml for some reason. But that was probably due to the traffic it was getting. Maybe the libs were coming in from filtering by all instead of local?
