I didn’t use this post. It was a week ago I clicked on the link on the top screen that said “donate to Lemmy.”. I don’t know exactly who the picture was, but I could recognize it as a left-wing revolutionary. It was that Spanish dude with a beard…Chavez I think. The picture was on Patreon and I think Librapay.
I’m not necessarily against him or left wing revolutionaries, but it felt like something the mods on News would use. After I thought about, I realized that whoever set up this instance probably controls the popular left wing communities. I would if I set up a website.
I don’t know the history of the person in the picture, but it’s commonly used by extremists. If I see that profile picture on Reddit, it means I’m about to read a comment from someone who thinks Bernie Sanders is a far-right capitalist.
