There was a 200+ incantations across 2 threads (1 and 2) in asklemmy.

Historians are torn on the exact date the catrina-stalagmite rapture began, but popular consensus considers this event to be the start. The ritual began with The Pope of Banishment catr-stag crying: “Comrades! I comment for the algorithm, may more of us see this insanity and come to our aid!”

This marked the first on record brigading on the Lemmyverse. Legions of catr-stag’s loyal lemmygrad followers emerged from the shadows and surrounded Goose. They began chanting incantations.

Goose was never seen again and his body was never found.

His epitaph reads:

"Friend to all

You’re a friend to everyone you meet. Friends and family come first to you, and you’re always there to lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on. Your legacy is defined by the lives you’ve affected."

He was succeeded by a wife, 3 children and 2 ducks.

A public memorial service will follow.

    The problem has become omnipresent. Especially in the area of writing. No matter how you write something, it’s always taken the wrong way. And I see a lot of parallels between platforms like Twitter or Reddit and Lemmy or Mastodon. The Fediverse itself proudly claims that it is supposedly better than Twitter and others, but they simply can hide better there. What I have observed since StatusNet (GNUsocial) is, especially with the hype around ActivityPub, that the aggression and spreading of hate and smear in the Fediverse can measure up to that on Facebook, Twitter, and so on much more.
    If it has not already passed them with it, as what hashtags like this Fediblock spread like a plague and no one wants to realize that such stuff is more harmful to the entire network than it could ever be done by politics-based topics.

    I should be annoyed, but this is amazing. I’m a stalagmite now!

    and maybe I shouldn’t have made that comment, but he was directly referencing us, why should the people he was against not voice their discomfort?

    Also, comrades, you are now sorcerers, and I am your Pope of Banishment. I will accept no alternative.

    Haha I enjoyed reading this.

    What happened that day was tragic and I actually feel bad for goosefetisch for the amount of shit talk he received (regardless of his opinions). I don’t think they will come back to the platform (at least not the same instance). This Github issue saddens me more if they’re the one who posted it.
