Comradeship // Freechat
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.
A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
That's why Lemmygrad is my chill space. I recommend avoiding unnecessary lib brainrot for the sake of your own mental health. Maybe there is a need to tell people what Marxism-Leninism actually is and what is is not, but I think that spending too much time arguing with libs online is a waste. I salute my comrades with nerves of steel, though, if they can do it and not go insane.
also, I think it's more effective to try to educate liberals who stumble upon Lemmygrad instead of doing it on their own instances, since our comments will just be mass downvoted and/or removed
Agreed. I would add that even stupid views should be challenged with basic respect for the person, at least as long as they seem to ask genuine questions. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish if they come in good faith, but other people following the discussion might learn something instead of getting the negative impression on us.
Every day, the bigger news communities mirror /r/worldnews more and more. I am already starting to see all the same talking points, the same complaining about tankies, and the same three jokes about China that they already have.
I don't even try to engage them in good faith anymore. I just insult them and fan the flames of world war.
I'm not sure if that's the best course of action. I didn't want to do leftist infighting over on the lib instance, but some of your comments over there make it seem like we are the ones lusting for more war and death. I think there's a clear difference between arguing (even angrily) with libs and trolling with "hope your country gets nuked". It makes those of us actually engaging with them on good faith and trying to educate look bad by association.
agreed, extreme trolling like that is just going to discourage other instances' more open-minded liberals from visiting Lemmygrad, because they'll assume you're being serious
Yep. Why make things worse than they already are?
Don't worry, comrade. They won't be able to prop up their unjust societies for much longer. The feedback loops are happening as we speak, and the multipolar world struggles to be born. Their mouths'll be running a whole lot less when a spent character means another iota of gut-gnawing hunger, or skin-roasting heat.
This has 9 downvotes from those pieces of shit LMAO
Is there a way to stay federated so they have to read our posts sometimes but they can’t downvote? They can comment, then we can mock them, but silently, anonymously downvoting is too cowardly to abide.
Downvoting doesn't do anything though. Does it?
Mostly just annoying. Kinda wish the site didn’t have downvotes or maybe even upvotes. Specifically downvotes though are never used to indicate “This info is factually wrong” or “This is a racist comment.” I mean, they might also be, but the primary usage despite any intention years ago is a cathartic “fuck you!” to the person you’re downvoting. It’s used so much for that purpose that I basically mentally swap downvotes for upvotes when it’s a topic that will anger libs. Their disapproval just shows me I probably said something correct (but also further shows the worthlessness of the downvote button). Probably the “like” button is about the only useful such device to indicate engagement but limit butthurt kneejerk downvotes.
And before anyone thinks I’m making this like my life priority: I’m really not. I don’t care that much. It’s just one of those things which seems outdated and should go away but probably never will because the anticipated asshurt is so high. I absolutely know reddit soys, chud or libs, would lose their minds crying over it if it happened (see the time YouTube removed their dislike button- people fucking still try to code it back in lol).
Welp, back to downvoting all the liberal comments :)
If you don’t like downvotes, you could always use hexbear, they should be federating in this upcoming week
I appreciate the recommendation, but I’ll probably keep slogging on the downvotes as badges of honor. After so many years of pissing off swarms of redditors, well, time to do some more I guess. So far I have enjoyed the times I’ve seen people handwringing over the .ml domain (when they learn it can mean more than the country it’s meant for lol) and how they’re like “well yeah spez sucks, BUT ARE WE GONNA GO TO A TANKIE SITE!?” I love it.
Carry on then soldier 
it might affect the "Hot" rankings (just a guess)
Yeah, you need to not go into any political or climate communities otherwise you will end up having to see their racist opinions.
I'm sad to see the lib infestation on lemmy.ml. I joined in June just before all the mass migration and it was a comfy place. I really appreciate seeing the regulars on lemmygrad.ml posting news from the other side of the spectrum on !worldnews@lemmy.ml, even though they tend to get bombarded with downvotes (without any well-considered, thoughtful responses as to why they don't agree with said articles in the comments).
And then there is lemmy.world. Like you said, such a hateful and bloodthirsty hive mentality, it's impossible to communicate your points when they refuse to reconsider their semantics and "facts". Their response is always "AUTHORITARIAN! GENOCIDE! WHATABOUTISM", as if those words reduce to anything outside of their societal domains---their language game---so to speak.
It all comes down to the mods, I suppose. If we have enough solid, socialist mods that don't take any shit then they can keep the libs in check. When large instances don't have that, the libs run amok.
