      the thread on banning the nazi salute went viral. At first the OP and I didn’t realise, and we both made remarks on gee, awfully suspicious amounts of comments suddenly appearing on this for 1am-9am on a Sunday.

      Cue an absolute cavalcade of I Am Very Smart posters, accusations of trumpism and general what the absolute living fuck are you on about. And of course since it’s flared up, ton of other dipshits joining in trying to tell victorians that it was a response to dictator dan (wat) and claims that by banning nazis you become the true nazis but uh, last I checked nope, the true nazis are the actual nazis and fuck’em.

      Umbrage is being taken. People do not like the fact that I do not give a shit what they think about how we ban nazis and are very very intent on me knowing how little they care about me not caring for their opinions. And the entire time I continue not to give a single shit and they are getting so mad about it.

      It’s marvelous.

        That post still going on? I almost responded to your comment to say that 1am for you is only 10pm for me. But then I realised there were a lot more responses than usual after all - not just me.

          Yah, even factoring in the most western states woulda been pushing it to make that many comments on a Saturday night - especially this time of year.

          But apparently it’s done the lemmy equivalent of landing on main, so the rabble are massing. Lotta bad faith actors. And jackasses.

          (The fact a bunch of hexbears showed up did not help)
