    How does it happen that the mod teams of these subs are so easily infiltrated by opportunists and purged of principled MLs? Could this happen on Lemmy too at some point or are there safeguards in place to prevent it?

      No idea. I might be overthinking it but it all seems to follow the principles of those ultras, while ML strive to be as open as possible, it is very tiring, and eventually they need some people to help. And ultras and opportunists having strange love for blanquist and SR tacticts are infiltrating the mod teams. Then the original head mod resigns and when some blanquist gets to that post, they immediately start the purge. The same happened to MTC, SLS, GZD, C and C101… basically every single major ML sub is taken over by now.

      Hell the same happened to real life parties including S-D party under the very Lenin’s nose… at least twice.

      I’m pretty sure if lemmygrad were to get infiltrated then a sysadmin who is responsible for the Server where lemmygrad is running on could step in and remove the infiltrator(s) that way. Or just restore from backups if they fucked things up (assuming our sysadmin is responsible enough to do regular backups …)
