In the USA I tend to associate antifa with black, probably bc Trump supporters are red - but as in red (Republican/"conservative") vs. blue (Democrat/"liberal") (yeah extremely heavy quotes on those terms... 😮‍💨).

Anyway, that would mean that the entirety of the Fediverse servers were antifa, which seems to contrast with Lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml that featured so prominently in its software development?

So either way it is a bit confusing, to me at least.

Black flags are specifically anarchist. Red flags are specifically communist/Marxist. Red and black flags bisected tend towards things like anarcho-syndicalism and anarcho-communism, or even just socialist solidarity.

Communists are supposed to be antifa, which is not a strictly anarchist thing. It's supposed to be a Popular Front-style alliance.

Oh right, thanks. Indeed as you say it gets complicated, when up is down and left is upside down and right is inside out, due to people lacking morals wanting to associate themselves with "good things" despite being the polar opposite of those precise things.
