There are various reasons Lemmy succeeded as a Reddit alternative where others failed. One of the underappreciated ones is probably that the devs were communists. I know that sounds a little strange
Marx to other Reddit alternatives: I fucking told you!
Might be referring to r/genZedong/ getting quarantined, that’s when we had a big influx of comrades here.
I just realized the portmanteau “gen Zedong” makes less sense to Americans because they pronounce it zee.
As an american, I’m now confused. How should it be pronounced?
“z” is typically “zed” in Bri’ish English
Ahhh, Okay.
So I would normally say ‘gen zee dong’, but its really ‘gen “zed”-ong’.
haha yeah that doesn’t have the same ring to it
“Jen zee dong” still works in real English.
