Talk shit on FOSS, by comparing it to communism like it’s a bad thing, on Lemmy.

Now there’s a message this place will love, lol.

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 49 points 9 months ago

It's clearly a red scare parody.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 9 points 9 months ago

Of course, and it’s an old image too, but it still amused me thinking of the contrast between the message and the current audience.

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 22 points 9 months ago

There isn't, the message itself is satire. The audience is precisely who the message is for, it's making fun of Microsoft comparing FOSS to Communism, parodying red scare propaganda.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, of course.

Trying to explain satire is communism

[-] KreekyBonez@lemm.ee 30 points 9 months ago

it seems like a pro-communist programming message to me. the red dude looks super cool and supportive.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

Yeah, he’s probably giving mad tips to the dev and he looks happy, so we know the red dude is not just a dickhead.
