U might want to take a look at the federation map. It might be a bit overwhelming but in the settings on the bottom left you may chose blocked and allowed in order to get some insights on who federates with whom.
Oh wow what did lemmygrad.ml do?
I hate linking you to reddit but this post came to mind Choosing an instance; and my issues with lemmygrad
They're just generally annoying. They're tankies, constantly praising Putin and the CCP.
Basically sums it up really, although it's great fun to drop in and stir up shit every so often.
They're completely off the deep end though.
Be mindlessly propagandistic "communist." The countries they fawn over aren't even particularly communist, they're just authoritarian. Russia in particular is run by capitalist oligarchs.
It's just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.
It's fine to be offended that they called you propagandised, but that doesn't make it less offensive to immediately say the same thing back to them. You are both insulting each other, it's not helping the Lemmygrad situation.
There is no "lemmygrad situation", it's gaslighting lemmy by liberals getting wind in the sails with reddit refugees and attacking us all the time. note this basically didn't happen at all before, they just blocked us and maybe badmouthed in their dens, i don't care, i;m not going there. The arguments we had on lemmy were heated but not resembling current offensive.
I'm not speaking about you specifically, I have no idea who you are. I'm talking about lemmygrad in general. Just like the person you were responding to was talking about. He asked "what did lemmygrad.ml do?" And I'm clarifying that.
It's not that lemmygrad.ml is simply "communist."
This dude is sealioning you, block and move one.
They're not sealioning, they're responding to a bunch of strong, reasonably insulting allegations. Maybe not responding gracefully, but they're not sealioning.
In fact, I don't even think it's possible for one reply to be sealioning, the whole point is that it's repetitive harassment (as stated in the wiki link you posted). That's why the original comic strip that defined it has so many panels.
I'm not basing my statement off of any experience with Marxism-leninism. I'm basing it off of my experience with lemmygrad posters here on Lemmy. For example, this thread about the Tienanmen Square anniversary. I don't particularly care about the specific political ideologies on display.
@rrpeak@feddit.de linked one reddit post while I was searching for this one, so here it is anyway:
