Well 2y ago that's what the marxist-leninists here claimed anyway.
Btw, that link either leads to the wrong post or jerboa is broken lol, however from the "nope" I can infer that it is meant as a refutation so fuck it.
Here's a quote from dessalines on said post that explains it:
So then in a sense it is marxist in nature, as this answer hints to marxist values with "buying them feels like acquiescing to the digital enclosure of the commons."
However when this place was all marxist-leninists 2y ago, they made it very clear that it was a ML instance, by ML, for ML, and they claimed that .ml stood for marxist-leninist. As to when they decided that was no longer the case I have no clue, but that was the claim until redditors came and drowned them out a bit.
The comment was made 2 years ago - but as to whether it's attempting to masquerade the real reasoning behind it, I can't really say since I'm not the devs. I just thought it was worth copying over the comment contents since you mentioned you couldn't see it, I figured there might be others who couldn't as well!
I do appreciate it, the link for some reason leads to a completely unrelated post, but it looks like others can see it, so I think it's a Jerboa issue.
True, we aren't the devs so we can't know their true intentions or thoughts, but I have my suspicions. If I trusted everyone all the time I'd be helping OJ look for Nicole's killer rn.
(This is what the link loads for me btw)
