    Profit motive ruined Reddit so you’ve come to a place created by communist then get upset that the people who made and operate it are communists. Yeah that’s more than a little silly.

      I’m not upset about their political views. For me its just too painful to read something like “Russia didn’t start that war, its NATO” while I’m currently fleeing from conscription to Russian army to fight against Ukrainian people I respect more than citizens of my motherland.

      So, I make only choice I find suitable in that situation: avoid places where this behaviour is fine for mods and gains upvotes.

      There’s a difference between being a communist and blindly supporting authoritarian dictatorships wearing communist masks.

        I’ve not really looked into it too deeply because every single mile-long screed about this “controversy” starts off by clutching pearls about communists. Can you link me to where this is happening without paragraphs of dissembling preamble?

          Since they didn’t really answer your question, I can say that the people complaining are basically the type who are “As Progressive As They Come” who think it’s evil and indicative of brainwashing or ulterior motive to speak positively of China, Venezuela, Cuba, etc. They just can’t help but immediately jump to buzzwords instead of concretely describing people’s positions.
