well, i don't want to be rude, i'm not communist or capitalist, just an average guy and i respect every political views, But when your alias/name is 'communist', i think you just obtain the opposite of what you want. I agree with you : federation is missunderstood and if people doesn't want an instance with political bias, they can choose another one.
Inconvenient for this one usecase, yes
I make my username communist everywhere to make people question communism.
Why would they question communism if they see that username? If I see someone is named icecream I'm not going to question icecream.
If someone is named capitalism, should I question capitalism? It doesn't make any sense. :)
It's more about inciting conversation, you can't imagine how many people have messaged me just to fight me over my username.
Yeah, and I want to fight against that, let's reclaim communism from authoritarians.
