Perhaps it’ll help deconvert liberals attracted to it.
It has 3 posts by the creator/mod and 2 comments by other people. So on that regard, it’s too early to tell how reactionary it’ll get (though the Daily Mail posts don’t help).
At this stage, if it bothers you too much, you can always block it, to stop it from appearing in your feed.
On the other hand, the creator’s account is 14 hours old at the time I post this comment, which is suspect. They have already created 3 communities. 1 is the community in question. The other 2 seem to be dedicated in promoting socialist causes in the current US elections. There’s 2 possibilities to explain this: Either this is a current Lemmygrad member/lurker who decided they wanted to set up some election communities, but decided to do it using an alt. Or this is a sockpuppet account who is setting up communities where elections will be discussed and they are positioning themselves to control the conversation and insert their own propaganda. The possibility that this is a genuine new account who decided within a few hours of joining Lemmygrad to create 3 new whole communities, is quite remote. I also find it suspicious that each community has posts from sources that would be sympathetic to the ideologies of who they think will be using those communities.
Therefore, my vote would be to reserve judgement until the creator account is investigated.
