GenZedong and other communities shilling on lemmygrad. Some of these accounts post multiple pro-china, pro-russia, anti-usa articles per hour. I’m all for open discussion, but accounts like that are just propaganda pumpers

To be clear, not everyone and everything on lemmygrad is a tankie shill. We need places that are safe for discussion of political ideologies. But I mention lemmygrad because that’s where the tankies seem to be flocking

Tip: If you’re thinking about making a community, google it first, like this:

Let’s say I want to make a community for dogs. I’ll google “c/dogs lemmy” and some variations just to be sure.

This has been working for me. If it doesn’t come up, it probably doesn’t exist

If you turn your server off does that make your communities and account history invisible until you turn it back on?

Maybe not for the initial deluge, but with sustained growth the number of mods will grow too
