Forming the Stalin Battalion!

Some instances we federate with have free account creation and some people use that to instantly post on Lemmygrad (like 2 days old accounts with comments only on Lemmygrad type of stuff)

I give you my blessing to dunk on those people when you see them, go as hard as you need (within reason).

But remember: people that are reasonable should receive the same too. I’m talking about pure trolls who know what they’re doing.

Then don’t forget to report them and we’ll ban them.

If we mobilise a front to counter trolls, I assure you they will stop soon enough because we take the fun out of it.

    Adding to the other suggestion, what I’ve found to work some times is just asking them to elaborate on their questions if they are too low effort. If they’re spending more time trying to actually provide proper questions, that’s time they’re not spending spamming. Also works well with the accidental questions that do actually look like sealioning. Something like:

    Isn’t China really authoritarian though?

    Could you explain what do you mean concretely by “authoritarian” and how that differs from other countries that would be less so?

    Takes very little effort too.
