A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Oh boy! That entire page is definitely something. As someone born in a comunist country I can only pitty people like that. They must have had some pretty sheltered lives in order to be this detached from reality. As others have said it is impressive what they've done with the platform and deserve prays for it, but man those views are going to push a lot of users away, especially when they are so public.
Which country if you don’t mind me asking?
The one that had a pretty bad revolution to get rid of communism 😉. The problem with communism is that, since they achieve power through illegal means, they also refuse to leave when the people, who they are supposed to represent, don't want them anymore.
To be fair, I think most governments would refuse to leave if the people they represent don't want them anymore.
Yes, we only have to look at the United States in recent history for that example...
