He was thankfully called out for it by someone, then provided that explanation.

If you're going to call lichess "communist" and back it up with my satirical github bio, then you have to quote it entirely, you don't get to handpick what serves your point.

I called lichess a "gay hippie communist chess server for drug fueled transgender atheists".

To make fun of people who called us these names along the years.

The "communist" part is there because that's what politically uneducated people call us when they see we're non-profit, it's the only alternative they know to ultra-liberalism in their binary worldview. You're not one of them, so please put it into context by citing my bio in its entirety.

Some time ago, I tried - laboriously and probably in a somewhat overly complicated way - to explain to a colleague (who knows absolutely nothing about chess) what Lichess is.

I’ll share your concise sentence with him first thing tomorrow morning; then he’ll immediately know exactly what this platform is all about.

Chess has two extremes: Chesscom at the cishet end and Lichess at the gay transgender end. I want to build something in the middle.

Lichess is already good it has everything u can need and if for u its not enough there are lichess tools.
And who said tht lichess is at the gay transgender end? Is something wrong with him being gay and a transgender?
