Wasn't the entire point of moving to Lemmy that now we can't be stopped? I still see posts tone policing "advocating for violence" or, for fuck's sake, "brigading."

Old cth would ping a random user and make an entire thread to drag them for saying something stupid. That was one one of my favorite things about the sub. Why are we still walking on eggshells? Literally what bad thing can happen to us now? Why don't we start doing that again?

Can we be banned from here, or something?

    It's not like we're allowed to advertise there as it is. If anything, banning mention of the site and stirring up shit is a way better way to bring in people, if that's the intent.

    I'd never heard of the sub until people started talking shit and complaining about it. I doubt I would have otherwise, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

      We're still able to advertise on reddit, they haven't banned one yet, but you know what will eventually catch their attention? A lot of people clicking a link from this site to theirs and seeing that every time it happens there's a downvote brigade. It's how they got CHUDS.LOSE. Plus, don't you want to do brigades when you got 1,000s of peeps versus just a couple hundred? Let's grow a bit more first. Think of it as recruiting before the war.

        What the fuck is chuds.lose and who "got" them? What are you talking about? Did reddit somehow shut them down?

        And no, if the site is under some delusion that we have to play nice until we're magically popular, then it will just be fucking boring and no one will bother.

          CHUDS.LOSE is the name I give to a donald offshoot site. they use .win in their name, but it's CHUDs and they lose all the time. And we're not waiting to be magically popular, just a bit more stable and with other ways to advertise besides reddit.
