As always when interest pops up in Lemmygrad and an exodus happens, we become slightly more lenient with account requests. This doesn't mean we let in centrists or all curious onlookers, but people who are reasonably left and pass vetting are allowed in. This has always been our policy.

This is because we prone an open policy and are always happy to help educate. If people want to hear the anti-imperialist camp's opinions, then we should be proud that they come to us for such views.

For this reason, if you're a long-time Lemmygrad user, you may see people who don't necessarily act like you would expect us to act, coming from our community. They are likely coming from this exodus and I ask that each of us be patient with them as necessary.

If you are considering requesting an account on Lemmygrad however, please note this first:

  • We ask that you answer all vetting questions. No exceptions will be made. It's fine if you're not necessarily a marxist but detail your political leanings in the first question.
  • You may have a better experience making an account on another instance such as lemmy.ml that federates with us, then using federation.
  • You may not need an account if all you want to do is browse, you can also freely lurk.

Welcome comrades! I must warn you, you might catch the tankie mind virus if you lurk/post here.

It's because we all share a single toothbrush.

[-] ImmortanStalin@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 10 months ago

I'm running a little late for work, do you know which comrade has the communal toothbrush?

[-] TankieReplyBot@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 10 months ago

I do, and you'll never see it again! MUAHAHAHAHA

[-] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 10 months ago

[-] TankieReplyBot@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 10 months ago

In fact, I stole every single one of your artifacts while you weren't looking. You will never stop me!

Welcome all and tankie you for joining

Welcome comrades. Some advice: be outwardly open minded but internally critical of what is shared with you here. There are comrades here who have a good knowledge of some powerful but subtle philosophy and history; try to be open to it, but know that it will take work to understand and make use of it. You'll get the most out of our community by coming to learn, not just to join team tankie.

[-] PosadistPotatofish@lemmygrad.ml 42 points 10 months ago

Just please don't let the place be overrun with liberal apologists for USAdian imperialism, I sought refuge here from lemmy.ml to escape that!

[-] fox@hexbear.net 42 points 10 months ago

I wouldn't worry, Lemmygrad is federated with Hexbear and the posting power of the coalition is unparalleled

[-] PosadistPotatofish@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 10 months ago

Sounds like it'll be fine, I missed the news that world degenerated from us lol.

I welcome our new refugee comrades with open arms!

The commander of the cavalry unit who met us about three miles inside Soviet territory started negotiating with us. He asked why we were coming over to their side. People in front told him that we were fleeing the fascists and we wanted to lead a productive life in the Soviet Union.
“Are you working‐class people?” the commander asked.
“Sure we are. Look at our hands!”
“If you promise not to push any further, I will ask at headquarters if we can let you in.”
“Yes, we promise.”
“Then,” said the commander, “wait here. It will take me two to three hours to return.” We promised to behave and waited anxiously for his return. Then afar we saw him riding back bringing the good news that we were allowed to enter the USSR. Hurray!
