Seeing the fediverse logo in Antifa colours made me chuckle

    The red is probably for communism, the colours are the same as the anarcho-communism flag. Personally, I’ve always associated fascism with black, no idea why.

      Hitler was black (I mean… hopefully you know what I mean!?:-P), while Russia and China are red, so they truly could go either way.

      In the USA I tend to associate antifa with black, probably bc Trump supporters are red - but as in red (Republican/“conservative”) vs. blue (Democrat/“liberal”) (yeah extremely heavy quotes on those terms… 😮‍💨).

      Anyway, that would mean that the entirety of the Fediverse servers were antifa, which seems to contrast with Lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml that featured so prominently in its software development?

      So either way it is a bit confusing, to me at least.

      The swastika on German Nazi flags were black. Of course they also were mostly red (and had a white circle).

      Red, white, and black is definitely a choice though. Maybe picking a color that wasn’t on the Nazi flag would have been better for this sticker.

        i mean i’m pretty sure the nazis chose those colours specifically to benefit from being associated with socialism, the party’s full name is literally the “national socialists” after all, the whole thing about nazism is taking something popular and using it for evil.

        I more associate them with brown anyways, that’s way more unique to fascism. EVERYONE uses red white and black, they’re literally the first colours every language creates words for.
