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:

Up to you, but ultimately there's no way to stop them from using reddit to organize denial of service attacks here. That is illegal, but reddit isn't going to do us any favors.
