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

    no 100% agree, that post on greta earlier blew up out of no where, lot of hapless libs wandering in (maybe not even knowing exactly where they are)

        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.

      I think this is happening increasingly. Some new users don’t seem to understand federation. They think it’s just an advert-free Reddit and wander anywhere they like thinking it’s the same all over. They should be wandering, like, but they’ll have to get used to the fact that instances as well as communities have rules.

      For example, someone made a comment on an article posted in !learnspanish@lemmygrad.ml. Now, I’m no expert, hence being on a language learning community, but it seems like liberal anti-communism to me. I think liberals see the content of our communities and come in thinking they can bring their liberalism to bear on the subject, without realising that all content here comes under the auspices of Marxism.

    No yeah, getting more mods in communities is a good thing. Only problem is as a mod you can only ban someone from your community and not from the whole website, that’s why I’ve been clamoring for modmail (and adminmail too) on Lemmy, or just a rework of the report system. I think the best thing to do if you ban someone from your instance is report another of their comment and ask us to ban them from the instance, with some context of course because we really can’t tell from a single comment most of the time lol (even if we do browse their profile)

    Agreed. They had the nerve to come to Fuck the Colonists too, and thankfully, it seemed to be in short supply enough that I was able to be rid of it in a couple minutes, but… They have literally no discernment in where they go. ‘Main-line’ communities on the 'grad need a stronger moderation presence if we’re not going to be defederating from the burgeoning hives of neoliberalism.
