    I hate this so much,

    Someone is mentioned on Lemmy and there is always a drive by comment saying don’t support X or X is a bad person with no context whatsoever. No mention of what specifically they are accused of doing/saying, no way to figure out if that clashes with your values or not, no documentation etc.

    And subjectively it feels like half the time I research why this might be true it’s debatable at best, I assume because if there was compelling evidence the person doing the drive by would have linked it.

      I should start replying to random shit with “don’t support X” with no context or followup

        Also, create a thousand accounts in advance at random days, never use them and make this comment their only, but when account is not fresh. That way it would look like it’s a legitimate reader that was just once so outraged they decided to comment and then shut up forever
