We’ve approved I don’t know how many new comrades here since the announcement that Reddit will kill its API access.
If you don’t know where to start posting on lemmygrad, this is a good thread to start in! You can also ask questions you have about federation or our instance.
Welcome!
The current lore is:
We are all feds on lemmygrad, but you get to choose your agency.
Have a general resentment towards reddit > read about alternatives to reddit as a result of the API controversy > Lemmy gets brought up because it’s private and decentralized > libs in comments: “Nooo it’s full of communists!!!”(gee I wonder why) “Not hating CPC = basically fascism!! I don’t care that I can make my own instances, ‘supporting’ communists who for some weird reason keep building good software is icky” > me: sounds based
Well now lemmy is full of very aggressive libs, welcome to lemmygrad though!
Hello, I’ve been here for a little bit but anyways, I gained a small following by China- and DPRK-posting on Tiktok, I keep getting banned there so I’m focusing more on Substack and Youtube. I mostly break down western propaganda about AES countries. Hopefully people here enjoy my content, I’m trying not to spam or anything.
You keep getting banned on TikTok? Why exactly?
Brigades by anti-communists. Mostly, and specifically, PraxBen’s community. You can’t post anything even remotely polarizing on Tiktok. It happens to pretty much all leftist creators of any size, like Midwestern Marx or even Hasanabi.
It’s not worth the effort to try to make non-combative content, so I gave up.
Lemmy is gonna get overrun with libs when it happens.
Lemmy is already overrun by libs. If not for Yogthos it would be mainly techbro posts.
