          Well when I started using Lemmy I didn’t actually know what .ml was, I just heard it was the instance run by the Lemmy developers and thought, “ok so this is the main one then”, and joined it. They do make you paste some line from the manifesto or something to join so I did get a hint of what it’s MO is, but that didn’t really turn me off as I’m not necessarily opposed to Communism, at least in theory. I however did not expect the steadfast defense by many on there of the USSR, which operated pretty antithetically to its purported ideals
