What’s with all the downvotes?

Saw a few threads get blasted, and a de-federation post - did I miss the drama?

That, I suppose.

But, they're manuputing content, posting propaganda, brigading the votes in every thread.

Go read their comments, it's a real classy group.

Ha, here's a reply I got from their moderator:

Go and eat shit fed to you by your US masters as Europe crumbles, you pathetic eunuch.

Their most active user also posts "news" and "politics" all over Lemmy, all day, every day.

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.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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....

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Eh, they have a bunch of alts too. They're not just on lemmygrad.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Hey, lemmygrad, how’s it going

> the comment

Yea

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You may want to pass a screenshot of that message to your instance admins. Lemmy.world defederated from exploding heads after screenshots of messages by their admins like yours.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Oh wow, and here I thought it was just a cringe name. Thanks!

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

The mod reply is 🤌 that is some quality vitriol

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I had never heard of them before, but then after the hack yesterday I saw a HUGE influx of their stuff and whatever the right-wing crap was too (something 'explode' or whatever). My whole feed was just filled with obvious propaganda crap that I would've expected from facebook.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Both lemmygrad and exploding heads are garbage

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Careful, they'll shit BRICS if you keep up those kinds of comments. Just need to defederate and move on, leave them with the other idiots like the libertarians and flat earthers.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

they’ll shit BRICS

Not sure if autocorrect failure or geopolitics pun.

...I choose to think it was brilliance in action, but I'm an optimist

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

A tankie stubs his toe and blames the CIA

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

nobody here gives a shit if anything is newsworthy. Or true. Or propaganda. This place is a shit show.

I mean what did you expect, you came to their place and insulted them.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Tbf, they deserved it. What I said is true. They are posting lies and propaganda all over Lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

[...] you pathetic eunuch.

An impotent attack on a man's manhood. Where did I see this again?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This tankie right there is especially not very bright. But, in other places, he's invoking "dialectical materialism" like it's some sort of Holy Grail that resolves "any of life's issues". Caesar on a cross... he reminds me of Edward Sallow's poor understanding of "hegelian dialectics"
