A lot of questions on here are aimed at the reddit users experiences, but I’ve been wondering what the older users thought of his move. Are there any reddit cultures you are hoping do not come with the users? Are you confident or fearful of the growth coming from the reddit community? I’m curious how the reddit influx is changing these communities either for better or for worse.

    Originally, like someone said, it was a derogatory term for supporters of Khrushchev military intervention against a revolt in Hungary in 1956.

    It is also used to pejoratively refer to a supporter of some leftist regimes, such as that of Stalin’s USSR, China, and North Korea (also Pol Pot’s Cambodia, probably). Are also a supporter of Putin’s Russia and its invasion of Ukraine.

    Take of it what you will.
