It’s probably easiest to just link you there and let you form your own opinion: !genzedong@lemmygrad.ml.
As you can see, it’s quite the motley crew. Among everyone else, you can find some number of both hardboiled communists and irony-poisoned trolls. Admins who block lemmygrad generally take issue with either the communists or the trolls – sometimes both.
With that being said: is blocking lemmygrad merely FUD or actually justifiable from a pure admin-overhead perspective? I don’t admin an instance, so I’m not going to talk out my ass and say one way or the other. I’d love to hear the thoughts of any random instance admins who might be lurking in the comments, though.
It’s OK to choose not to hang out socially with people who intend to murder you as soon as they can get away with it.
Hell, it’s OK to choose not to hang out socially with people who joke about intending to murder you as soon as they can get away with it.
(And as we see with fascist recruiting in “trolling” spaces, there’s a well-trodden path from joking to serious about murdering you.)
