But, in one sense, yes: this is a second hand account of Lemmy I have not verified. You should also factor THAT into your equations.
THis is the problem with the sort of “smear” or “negativity” habbits on here (and no doubt other/all social media).
That it’s almost all hearsay is never stated nor understood. And the fact of the matter is that we all love to get negative about things, so it spreads like fire.
On twitter when taking down the corrupt and powerful, that’s probably a good and useful weapon. On the fediverse about other instances and platforms?!?! Probably just a plain destructive behaviour to be frank with you.
If we’re all too eager to make sure we’re “in the good place” by shooting down anything that could possibly “from the bad place”, the problem is we may just end up with not much of a place in the end.
