Well, Yes but not here. The fediverse doesn’t have to follow the same domain extension standards people are used to with websites hosted on centralized servers in various countries. Spin up an instance of your own and you can choose whatever extension you want and they chose one as shorthand for Marxist-Leninist. They’re not shy about it, Dessalines even has essays on communism hosted on their github.
They were on lemmy.ml from the start. Take a guess at what the “ml” stands for.

I’ve got two on lemmy, I originally signed up on beehaw because it was the one I seen recommended but I wasn’t sure how long it’d take to be approved so I signed up on lemmy.one when it started. Then I started hearing about all their tankie bullshit and seeing some of it and nope’d the fuck out. That’s when I came to kbin.social and haven’t logged back into the lemmy accounts. I still subscribe to stuff on lemmy instances because I don’t want to isolate myself in an echo chamber but I don’t want to actually be on it.
I also have a mastodon account but I’m not really a fan of the twitter format so I haven’t used it.
That’s because we let them have it, along with all the other symbols of hate they have. The moment the right takes a hold of something, progressives for the most part go all M.C. Hammer on it and say “we can’t touch this”. We’re literally enabling the hate we’re trying to fight by allowing it to have symbols because it empowers that hate and that’s why they don’t want the Pride flag flying next to the American flag, because it dilutes their perceived control over it.
You’re welcome and I didn’t make the connection at first either, I doubt a lot of us newer people have.
