Guys! This is how we could attract more users for the Fediverse! We could......UPVOTE VIOLENT CONTENT!!!

....ya know what? It sounded more epic, and made more sense in my head. Saying it out loud it just sounds like something a nutjob would yell out randomly in an Arbys in Iowa one quiet Tuesday.

I don't think so. Mods have a sensitivity crisis, they don't like it when people praise Luigi and feel CEOs should get theirs. Or that is considered "ADVOCATING VIOLENCE!!111" because I guess it's okay for CEOs to play god and fuck with everyone's lives on a regular basis but we can't cheer for them to get shot.
