I guess that this 50501 movement has somehow gained some recent popularity from somewhere, but the sheer volume of content, communities, and even instances seems weird.

Where did this all come from and why did it seem to come as a sudden flood?

      I was banned for “showing extreme indifference” when that really funny thing happened to the health care CEO

          No way he’d ever do such a thing. I know a guy who said they saw him at a party in Pittsburgh at the time of the shooting.

            It blows my mind how when the cops needed a fallguy for the crime they grabbed an extremely attractove man who’s also educated and intelligent.

            As if we were going to go against someone like that. lmao

      They’re establishing communities here because reddit (where the community mostly started) can censor or ban their community at any moment. The fediverse offers a lot more protection from censorship.

      And yet…no icon for us!
