Forming the Stalin Battalion!

Some instances we federate with have free account creation and some people use that to instantly post on Lemmygrad (like 2 days old accounts with comments only on Lemmygrad type of stuff)

I give you my blessing to dunk on those people when you see them, go as hard as you need (within reason).

But remember: people that are reasonable should receive the same too. I’m talking about pure trolls who know what they’re doing.

Then don’t forget to report them and we’ll ban them.

If we mobilise a front to counter trolls, I assure you they will stop soon enough because we take the fun out of it.

    Might be worth responding with a standard text about the way to ask questions.

    Something like (perhaps worded more simply):

    We appreciate good faith questions and engagement at Lemmygrad. If that is why you are here, welcome; we do not want to put you off. However, your question/post/comment includes problematic claims/statements that are not conducive to good faith discussion. The problem might be: anti-communism, historical inaccuracy, revisionism, reactionary talking points, bigotry, liberal propaganda, a loaded question, assuming that we will all agree about what you might think are uncontroversial facts, or something else. If you re-word your question we can have a more productive conversation.

    If they come back with loads more bullshit, their sealioning will be more obvious. And we won’t unintentionally start dunking on the people who just don’t know any better.
