I did not realize we had a character limit and the reason is because I've been amongst trees and sunlight before

I've reached character limits before. But that's because I was posting blocks of historical texts in c/marxism

It was more finding little known niche areas of sovietology and posting them or having an overall topic, such as 'what does purging mean in the soviet union', and then quote-dumping until I run out of sources

Rename the comm and move on would be great, the issue users took was there was more to it than that and multiple reasons given, behind the scenes discussions, but yeah it was all blown out of proportion I think
