  • While it's good to believe in Free Speech generally, a blanket approach is how Reddit alternatives end up like Voat. Even normal people were suggesting it as a popular Reddit alternative, but then it became clear that their slavish devotion to the idea of "free speech" included not kicking out fascists and bigots.

  • Most of the posters are Americans, but more "PSL" American Leftists than "DSA" American Leftists.

  • Also I see the name lemmygrad thrown around, what’s the story with them?

    Lemmygrad.ml is an instance for Marxist-Leninists and other Socialists who are broadly pro-AES (Actually Existing Socialism, i.e. the USSR, PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, East Germany, etc.) and anti-West. Criticism of AES is fine; but the assumption is that you're there because you think AES is better than Actually Existing Capitalism. If you've ever heard of podcasts like TrueAnon or The Deprogram (or even Chapo Traphouse, to some extent, though they're more "ML-sympathetic" than "Outright Marxist-Leninists"), it'll give you a general idea of what sort of politics they're about.

    Lemmygrad is where Leftist Redditors go when their favorite subs (/r/ChapoTrapHouse, /r/MoreTankieChapo, /r/FULLCOMMUNISM, /r/GenZedong) get banned or quarantined.

    I'm not a big Lemmy-head, but I saw this post on lemmygrad so I assume that means your instance is federated with lemmygrad.
