There are various reasons Lemmy succeeded as a Reddit alternative where others failed. One of the underappreciated ones is probably that the devs were communists. I know that sounds a little strange

    The devs are communists, as mentioned in the title. Not bad people or anything, but definitely very leftist*.

    * from the point of view of many leftists, they're not very far left, and liberals are, in fact, right wing. I'm going with a more average definition here

    The author saw someone calling Dessalines a lib with respect to 1 specific thing and took it really seriously

      Ugh, Liberals. One day MLs are ultra-leftist tankies, the next we're not even really that left. I feel whiplash right now.
