    The other day a conservative on Lemmy (!) called me a wokeboi blueanon, so I am qualified to help with the definition:

    Awareness of structural and systematic inequality and oppression and the need for radical (systematic) reforms for same.

      So going by context, and correct me if I’m wrong here, but doesn’t the existence of “blueanon” imply that conservatives who use the word recognize that Q is bullshit?

        I think it more so derives from the same place Q derives from rather than deriving from Q himself.

        Chanboard users refer to each other as anons. I am still somewhat confused, as the conservative would presumably refer to op disparagingly as a “blue[British word for ciggie]” as opposed to “blueanon”, seeing as how “anon” has connotations of comradery. This is further compounded by the fact that we have usernames. We’re not anonymous. We’re pseudononymous.

        If I had to guess, this is due to moderation preventing the use of slurs in regular speech in most regions of Lemmy.
