      How have you been on Lemmy for over a year, and still not run into people who think it was?

      (For my part, I think words have the definition we give them)

          The first person?

          In history?

          Or do you mean the thing about words?

              Ah, well you’re actually fairly new. There will be more, and ones who personally strongly believe it.

              Here’s a graph of activity by instance. Hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml will all ban you for slagging off Stalin, and together they’re maybe a third of it. It’s because the devs are in that crowd.

              Again, I just try to use words people will understand. My opinion of the USSR is that it was a state existing roughly between 1920 and 1990.
