    I'm occasionally reminded of the guy that tried making reddit-logo subs specifically to talk shit about us but I'm pretty sure most of the people who joined were from here.

      This guy is comedy gold. According to him this is a right wing dog whistle:

      Semi related but, isn't it weird that this site has basically faced no organized opposition after the Kerry spammers? Closest thing was when we federated, but it was mostly random libs roaming into our powerful posters and getting obliterated. I guess there just isn't that much interaction between Lemmy and Reddit.

        I think that's partially from the mods being so on top of banning wreckers that they never get a chance to build up steam.

          True. But you'd expect subs on reddit-logo like tankiejerk or noncredibledefense to brigade us. I guess they just don't know about us.

            these kinds of subreddits only arise in reaction to communities on reddit because they understand the whole site as their turf. If we had a habit of regularly brigading and linking on anything like the scale of SRS or r/cth then they'd care about us, but this is literally just some small forum.
