You might have been able to infer this from the title, but I don’t believe this community is a good fit for Lemmygrad.

      I think we should allow the community to continue to post reactionary electoralist nonsense from clickbait tabloids because it drives the capitalists crazy

      Capitalists don’t care. Capitalists commodify everything, so us giving them clicks is profit for them.

      whenever they find out that people are actually reading stuff that doesn’t fit the main narrative when it comes to shitty US politics.

      I wouldn’t call performative theatre clickbait articles to “not fit the main narrative”. If you were posting from actual resistance sources, that’d be a different story.

      And since most people on Lemmy think that I’m a Russian troll, trying to avoid the front lines, it makes them more suspicious and angry, and may actually force them to actually think about the bullshit they say for once.

      Their paranoia is such that it is making them lose their minds, so we may as well let them know that they haven’t won in their fight to thwart conversation and true choice.

      So why not create this community on Lemmy?

      Can you explain why it’s not a good fit, or what I should be posting there in order to better fit the theme of Lemmygrad?

      I think people are explaining quite well why it’s not a good fit. Lemmygrad is a leftist space and we like to keep it that way. Your account is suspicious. You are posting shit sources.

      Could you please answer the questions posted throughout this thread? Like:

      1. Who are you? Do you have other accounts?

      2. Why would a 15-hour-old account be creating 3 communities?

      3. Why are you creating the same communities on both Hexbear and Lemmygrad (and who knows where else)?

          The other is this political one that isn’t just pro-democrat

          Why would you think that a community that’s Pro-Conservative (or even just Pro-Liberal in general) would be welcomed on a Communist instance?

          What do you mean who I am?

          I’m not asking to dox yourself, but to identify if you already have other accounts. So have you ever posted here from lemmy.world?

          Can I ask why that’s an issue?

          1. Because that’s what sockpuppet accounts do. It’s been done to other communities to ruin them. It’s why Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world are shitty currently.
          2. There’s already a community for socialism. We are a small instance, and oversaturation of communities has been an issue before (and partly the reason why this community exists).
          3. As per above, internet forum etiquette, since ages ago, has been that you first engage with a community, then if you want to make your own space in it, you check to see if such spaces already exist. Personally, I don’t mind so much that you made the community in question, but that you actually made 3 communities straight away and all your account activity shows is you posting things there only with small exceptions. As explained, this is suspicious behaviour.
