Is it counterproductive to explain misconceptions about Lemmy and advocate for its use on anti-communist subreddits that have suddenly given Lemmy a lot of attention (some by DOSing) due to the quarantining of the GenZedong subreddit and subsequent migration of its users from there to Lemmygrad? I thought it could be a great way to increase Lemmy adoption now that it is getting so much attention from them. However, some people on there actively are trying to harm the Lemmygrad instance, and I worry commenting on there would bring more of that unwanted attention to that instance. Should I or should I not get involved?
I’m talking about these people:
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.

You could point them to wolfballs.com, which seems closer aligned to them in terms of politics.
I’ll see if I can convince them to shit post on my instance instead of ddosing you guys.
I’m sure I’ll be ddosed when election season comes.
Edit: actually those guys hate ancaps which is pretty much how I would define my instance.
Its just a single person doing the attack from one IP at a time, so no DDoS. At worst it slows down the site a bit, and besides it allows us to discover and fix these vulnerabilities.
