Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I’d like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?

Be mindlessly propagandistic “communist.” The countries they fawn over aren’t even particularly communist, they’re just authoritarian. Russia in particular is run by capitalist oligarchs.
It’s just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.

It’s fine to be offended that they called you propagandised, but that doesn’t make it less offensive to immediately say the same thing back to them. You are both insulting each other, it’s not helping the Lemmygrad situation.

I need to tell you something. You need to bear the patience of a saint with these liberals. If someone does not explain them, they will keep acting as state propaganda parrots. Its not too helpful to get right back at them, considering how unhinged and toxic they can act. You will lose everytime in shit slinging competition.
I appreciate the advice, but I have gotten the same talk from Muad before. This is me being patient and not slinging shit!
I’m specifically trying to get to the meat of the argument without wasting a lot of time effort-posting primary source essays no one will read.
I think it’s worthwhile to show the disparity between the liberal worship of polite debate and their actual actions.
No, if you do the same thing as liberals, you being banned will be a further loss than the current position that favours them. Although I cannot disagree with the approach of taking some hits to expose their grift, something I have done for Lemmy for 3 years, you need to be cautious against drawing such cards against most of these decoys.
Also I can sling shit way harder and faster. I’d just get banned, and nutomic and Dessalines don’t need that headache! :D
There is no “lemmygrad situation”, it’s gaslighting lemmy by liberals getting wind in the sails with reddit refugees and attacking us all the time. note this basically didn’t happen at all before, they just blocked us and maybe badmouthed in their dens, i don’t care, i;m not going there. The arguments we had on lemmy were heated but not resembling current offensive.
I’m not speaking about you specifically, I have no idea who you are. I’m talking about lemmygrad in general. Just like the person you were responding to was talking about. He asked “what did lemmygrad.ml do?” And I’m clarifying that.
It’s not that lemmygrad.ml is simply “communist.”

I’m not basing my statement off of any experience with Marxism-leninism. I’m basing it off of my experience with lemmygrad posters here on Lemmy. For example, this thread about the Tienanmen Square anniversary. I don’t particularly care about the specific political ideologies on display.

This dude is sealioning you, block and move one.

They’re not sealioning, they’re responding to a bunch of strong, reasonably insulting allegations. Maybe not responding gracefully, but they’re not sealioning.
In fact, I don’t even think it’s possible for one reply to be sealioning, the whole point is that it’s repetitive harassment (as stated in the wiki link you posted). That’s why the original comic strip that defined it has so many panels.
There’s a thread of replies arguing on the semantics of communism, willfully ignoring the fact that FaceDeer’s issue is about LemmyGrad and not communism, and repeating “you’ve chosen to engage with me” while this is very obviously the other way around.

Nope. I don’t care whether they’re communist or not, they’re apologists for authoritarians. The communism thing is just an excuse they dress that up in.
Now I know why you refused to engage with or debate me on Tiananmen Square thread yesterday. Not very nice behaviour, honestly. Liberals are the most pointless, anti-revolutionary people on political spectrum, honestly. Either they will love the populist status quo that benefits them, or turn to the “protective” conservative/nationalistic ideas to enforce western imperialist status quo. It also sheds light on why conservatives and socialists have so much more intelligence and critical thinking than liberals.
