about to go postal rn on god frfr

You’re right. I’m pretty sure now that I may have even asked this all before but lost it because I have goldfish memory.

I just had a realization. A lot of content on the fediverse that we interact with is region specific.

Do you suppose this got posted today because there is a doxxing project happening right now on 4chan?

Good to know. I keep jumping between instances during outages and I’m worried in upvoting stuff twice
