We should try to be less hostile to people from other instances (lemmygrad.ml)

I think we should try to be more careful, not to automatically assume that everyone who is asking questions here about China/Ukraine etc. is always arguing in bad faith. I've seen multiple people who were genuinely trying to ask something here and the only response they got was mockery.

I do understand that a lot of times people who come here are trying to troll or just be annoying, but we still should try to engage in them in good faith as long as there is no reason not to do so. Not everyone who isn't from Lemmygrad is someone hostile to our ideology, and we should try to be kinder to them.

I don't think I'm seeing what you're seeing in that interaction.

I'm seeing a smug, somewhat unkind, liberal get smacked right in the face by how little and poorly they understand. They then are directed to resources after the initial shock.

That honestly seems like a model interaction to me.

I think you and I may see different reasons to be here as well. I'm not here to proselytize.

If someone is turned away from the immortal science of Marxism-leninism by having their own energy mirrored back to them, who cares?

* edited to add: the newer comments in this thread are a good example of what comes through pretty often. Many are removed, but only after they get a number of up votes from federated instances:
