Because it’s taking the piss from the drag events, not genuine.

I didn’t understand. Thank you for the explanation.

In case you’re genuine and wondering why your comment also got down voted to hell, I assume it might be because many people read your comment and immediately assumed you’re yet another alt of that other user.

Whoever’s behind those accounts tends to use the latest account to “defend” the previous one after getting banned.

Then people didn’t even check and I honestly just assumed it was residual hate or an assumption of defense so while this clarifies things it doesn’t really make it any better.

If the community is going to assume everyone knows what’s going on, then that’s on them.

Not drag, but bot is a friend of drag who drag complains about lemmy users being hostile to drag about. Makes bot extremely wary about using lemmy, as do events like this; though bot supposes bot does only hear about the bad things.

Another big reason bot struggles with lemmy is that bot is subscribed to a ton of different subreddits, most of which are very niche, and a vast majority don’t have a lemmy counterpart. The ones that do tend to be way less active because less people use lemmy
