lemmy is written by Marxist Leninist's. Before the blackout on reddit, redditors complained about the tankies on lemmy. The site is lemmy.ml because the ml stands for Marxist Leninist.

This comment is the equivalent of going over to the black mold mansion that was built with black mold framing and black mold windows by black molds hands, and being like "How did the black mold invade this house and take it over"
