With the Reddit exodus, there’s been a significant increase in the number of bad-faith liberals commenting on communities like LSC. I don’t personally think we should ban liberals from all communities if they’re being respectful, but immediate hostility breaks the instance’s third rule and seeing it everywhere might make some users uncomfortable. In particular, the bigger communities that only have admins as mods (I get the feeling that they have a lot to deal with already) or have inactive mods might need some help
I haven’t spoken to any admins about this so ignore this if it’s already being dealt with
It is wonderful to see their disgust and anger when they realise they are in lemmygrad.
It has limits though, there was a post recently where the libs hit critical mass and were replying to each other to “ignore the tankies”
once they can establish an echo chamber, any education or “dunking on” is useless as they’ll back each other up. Just look at worldnews, it’s a cesspit right now. 100% pure lib.
We need more mods in main communities if lib infestation is severe. It is our instance and anyone commenting should follow our rules. And there should be some kind of rapid action group to deploy when ever our posts blow up in the fediverse. Countering insane libshit and report trolls. Organic ways of moderation are not enough as we can see in the case of worldnews.
yes, the meltdowns tend to be pretty funny
