Thank you for the update. That makes me feel more confident this is a copycat. They’re an asshole either way.

Thanks for the info. The whole thing is despicable.

Do we know if anyone has tried a reverse image search? That might be one way to confirm that it’s someone sending gore for shock value just to be an asshole.

When’s the next war on bud light rainbow cans? 🤡🫡🤡

There was a very public spat that played out between some of the mods of a vegan community and the admins of an instance probably around a year ago now.

Since then there’s been a lingering feeling of distrust and resentment between some vegans and the rest of the Lemmy user base. Trolls and instigators love to gaslight people from both sides into fighting which leads to further division.

To everyone who is part of that: you are shitty people who need to grow the fuck up.

While I tend to agree people love drama and Lemmy is an easy target for it since it’s still relatively small. They take pleasure seeing the shockwaves of these events ripple through the fediverse. Blocking them and refusing to engage with bad faith arguments (whatever your personal definition may be) is the best line of defense ATM IMO.

Plenty of CEOs in the past. Less talky more Luigi.
