Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I think it is:

  1. to make similar to Soviet Union's name;
  2. Piss of China for having a formal name.

I think it started as 1, but I'm confident that no lib knows about the CCCP anymore. It's all tradition and spite now

Interesting, I never made the connection to the CCCP… I guess it could have started that way and then devolved into what it is now.
