Users from lemmygrad asking what's wrong with their instance are just outing themselves as unhealthy users, as far as I'm concerned...
It's a toxic echo-chamer full of misinformation and propaganda, akin to the donald on reddit with it's hateful and delusional rhetoric in one massive circle-jerk.
Fuck that cesspool.
To be fair, I think a lot of us would be confused when we just straight up have never seen a comment from them before.
Seeing that, yeah...that's pretty bad....
Eh, they have a bunch of alts too. They're not just on lemmygrad.
I meant users from lemmygrad asking what's wrong with the instance. Not users from other instances. I edited my comment to be more clear.
I stumbled into that instance from all a few times when I first joined Lemmy 4 weeks ago. There were not nearly as many users on lemmy at that time, so there were a lot of posts from that instance showing up in my feed..
But as reddit's 3rd party apps have ended and we've had a huge increase in active users, it has really drowned out that toxic instance from my feed. It's a good thing to me hearing you say most users now are unaware of them. I hope they stay in obscurity or are defederated.
Yeah.
I'm not a ML; I more-or-less lean toward anarcho-communist ideals, and am generally sympathetic to anti-capitalists, though, and have wandered into Lemmygrad on more than a few occasions, especially before everyone else showed up and they were one of the more active corners of the space.
It's always like that. They're just angry trolls, riling each other up.
