If you see around any individual interacting with others through strange antics, displaying weird or troll-like behavior, bot behavior, or similar, either on Lemmygrad or Lemmy, feel free to publish a people’s court case about them if you think they are negatively affecting the Lemmygrad community as a whole.

The usual best way to fight trolls is indifference. So if you think someone is constantly annoying, please block them, and if possible, publicly express your dissatisfaction, so that everyone is aware.

Some trolls like Wisconcom can cause a major disruption in our community, and that’s when we usually step in debating about the issue publicly. You are free to do so in People’s Court as well, it’s the place to collectively solve perceived problems within our community. You are also free to criticize the actions of the administrators,[1] under public scrutiny.

  1. criticize our actions, not our political positions. This would be perhaps more appropriate in Leftist Infighting ↩︎

    I probably agree with this.

    I’ll also add that I was a bit concerned with some of their (not Binkie55) comments that were too close to being pro personal terrorism or violence against named individuals. (I cannot find the examples at the moment to check how close they were.)

    I know there is a history of some users being banned from Reddit for saying that slavers deserve what they get, etc. But explicitly suggesting personal acts of terrorism or violence is the kind of thing could get users / site owners caught up in a criminal conspiracy if it becomes the norm or, worse, leads to an offline, physical act.

    I don’t want comrades (especially young or vulnerable comrades) to be encouraged to commit personal terrorism or violent acts thinking that ‘we’ / others generally support that kind of thing. We do not.

    I think the comments that I am referring to were attempts at edgy humour but we should watch out for it and be cautious.

      Please edit your comment to omit those long quotes unrelated to the subject in discussion, otherwise it will be removed. You can create a post somewhere about different analysis of terrorism, but this is uncalled for here.

      EDIT: Thanks
