Why would they question communism if they see that username? If I see someone is named icecream I’m not going to question icecream.
It’s more about inciting conversation, you can’t imagine how many people have messaged me just to fight me over my username.
On other social media it makes sense. But, here I just assume they are probably part of lemmygrad.ml. This place has had a way of warping communist into me perceiving it as fascist cause here.
Kind of like if this were instead a Nazi founded open source project that pushed themselves as vegan. Normally vegan wouldn’t really warrant another glance, but the history of place has kind of warped regular terms in some hilarious ways.
Yeah, and I want to fight against that, let’s reclaim communism from authoritarians.
In that case keep up the good fight. I wonder what would be the best approach to break this association of communism on lemmy that has become tied with the ideals of lemmygard.ml. It makes it extra challenging now with lemmy.ml having been and still continues to be the most recommended instance to join. Which will lead people who joined lemmy without fully understanding federations thinking all of lemmy shares the views of lemmygrad.ml and then leading to further spread of misinformation of this open source project.
