Advocacy on subreddits that are involved in the DOSing of the Lemmygrad instance of Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

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:

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.
