I think someone is having a psychotic episode. /serious
No, serious.
If SDF was more attentive (or even definitely knew this instance is here) I'd bug them about maybe looking into this.
Yeah I was being serious. I reported one of the posts but I'm not sure what else to do. Hope they get the help they need.
Kinda looks like a community that someone is using as a bookmark storage.
fair enough
I don't know, I blocked it ages ago.
Just making sure. I thought it was a Cicada 3301 recruitment puzzle.
Tribalism is the death of collaboration.
As soon as someone's threatening your tribe, or even speaking against them, there's a natural instinct to protect your comrades. You can't just talk it out like rational people if someone sounds like they're going to attack your right to exist as you think you need to be able to exist. I think this is at the root of some bizarre behavior by certain tribal groupings, including but certainly not limited to vegan people.
I suspect also that people who like to cause disruption in the community have seized on this as a very effective tactic for sowing division, by creating a tribal conflict that there's no possible win-win solution to or easy way to disarm. The vegan cat food thing is a perfect example. I suspect that this particular instance is another of those, either just a misguided vegan who is stirring up excitement and visibility for their cause, or else someone very deliberately trying to stir up excitement and conflict for non-vegan reasons of their own. Whether you agree or disagree with them, there will be reasonable people who will have reasons to get pretty animated about disagreeing back with you. And so... conflict.
The vegan discussion is one thing, I'm mostly talking about the wall of posts with pictures of someone talking to chatGPT and ominous urls to dropbox with audio recordings of out of context conversations.
Oh. That I have no idea.
