I joined during the Reddit exodus and I didn’t have to do that. Was a little shocked to learn that later.
Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep?
echolalia@lemmy.ml 4 days agoPart of the sign up process I went through was to copy a line from something Marx wrote (can’t remember now I’m a bad communist) to be approved for an account.
Maybe it wasn’t like that in the past but it was made clear in the sign up processs that the admins are ML communists and run their instance with those beliefs informing their moderation decisions.

Technically it’s Engels, in The Principles of Communism, last I checked.

It is true though, users should be able to pick up on that the instance that makes copying communist theory a part of the sign up process might have communists.

…except its not really communist, like north korea’s no way a proper communist country (not that there’s any that even existed); just some shitty dictatorship
