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.

It's clearly a red scare parody.

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 10 months ago (1 children)

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.
