if lowtax’s widow said she felt like lowtax had possessed me based on my behavior I’d throw every internet connected device I own in a pit

    My reading of it was that, while yes she was talking about moderation policy, it was specifically with regards to a different issue within the larger window of their policy. So someone replying in regards to a different policy under the same window was a distraction from the specific topic she was trying to discuss.

      So she kinda misunderstood the anecdote?

      Its not “Bluesky user enters Waffle house, begins talking about pancakes. Waiter starts shouting at him, berating him for talking about anything other than waffles”.

      It’s almost like she read the anecdote and her takeaway was “hell yes I hate pancakes”.

      Thanks for taking the time to explain me this stuff, I’m usually pretty quick with social cues but this just left me feeling completely dumb.

      Edit: I see in your explanation you flipped waffles and pancakes around (why do you hate waffles), maybe she did the same and just decided to stick with it. Or maybe she just had a public meltdown and it doesn’t need to make sense, I was just weirded out by how people kinda pretended like it did.
