As always when interest pops up in Lemmygrad and an exodus happens, we become slightly more lenient with account requests. This doesn't mean we let in centrists or all curious onlookers, but people who are reasonably left and pass vetting are allowed in. This has always been our policy.
This is because we prone an open policy and are always happy to help educate. If people want to hear the anti-imperialist camp's opinions, then we should be proud that they come to us for such views.
For this reason, if you're a long-time Lemmygrad user, you may see people who don't necessarily act like you would expect us to act, coming from our community. They are likely coming from this exodus and I ask that each of us be patient with them as necessary.
If you are considering requesting an account on Lemmygrad however, please note this first:
- We ask that you answer all vetting questions. No exceptions will be made. It's fine if you're not necessarily a marxist but detail your political leanings in the first question.
- You may have a better experience making an account on another instance such as lemmy.ml that federates with us, then using federation.
- You may not need an account if all you want to do is browse, you can also freely lurk.
