Not just spam, but really shitty spam too. My Lemmy viewer of choice doesn’t even allow for the viewing of profiles, so I wouldn’t even know how to get to “her” page if I wanted to.
I consider this a good thing for multiple reasons.

You’re not going to convert a Trump voter because you tried to force a dark Brandon meme
They’ve already shown that nothing up to and including Trump literally murdering their family members would convert them. Of course a meme isn’t going to, it’s not about that. It’s about taking something they think they’re being clever about and turning it back on them in an actual clever way. If the Dark Brandon memes were started in a void, I might agree with you that they were dumb, but as a reply to the LGB meme, I think they’re excellent.
There’s nothing funny or clever about it
I mean, humor is subjective, but I gotta say you’re most likely in the minority of people with average or above average intelligence (aka non-Trump voters) with that opinion. To be honest, I checked your post history to see if you were one of them because you are giving off that iq-is-slightly-lower-than-room-temp vibe here.
Because what it’s in response to is so high class?
They took the let’s go Brandon meme, added some actual humor and cleverness, and rolled with it. Sure, I would love to live in a world where you didn’t have to lower yourself to play someone else’s game, but when you’ve got millions of people who think they’re being clever by saying “Let’s go Brandon” instead of “Fuck Joe Biden”, I think Dark Brandon is the perfect response.
Bad bot
And sometimes bicycles are painted red.
People use it like everyone fucking has the innate knowledge of every acronym out there
Or, you know, people use it like everyone fucking has the ability to use google.
I don’t know if you’re choosing to add those hashtags to your comment or if it’s just something that mastodon does automatically, but holy fuckweasels is that shit annoying.
He’s extremely well known in the right to repair community. His “day job” is running a repair service for laptops and phones, mainly Apple devices, and he has always been at the forefront of trying to keep Apple in check as much as one person can be. To say he’s a decent guy is an understatement.
Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…
This was a problem on reddit too, and it looks like it’s carried over here. People make new communities and just assume that everyone in the future who finds it will just automatically know the purpose.
Another kink to think about is what if you have different communities with the same name on different servers with completely different content. Like what if the trees subreddit came to a server and created a marijuana themed community called trees, but then another server wanted to discuss actual trees so they called theirs trees too. Wouldn’t want those two being grouped together automatically.
That’s definitely not true. Just yesterday I was eating a salad (with chicken and bacon and cheese even) and I had an older coworker pass by and grumpily tell me he didn’t eat rabbit food.
