Thank you for pointing that out and then providing the link. People don't always read the sidebar. This also brings attention to it.

It chapps my ass that most clients obscure the rules and so it's really easy to forget to review them, especially if it's a community you rarely post to.

Thankfully, I haven't run into any reddit style mods on Lemmy... Yet.

Obv, this is a skill issue, but it's clear enough that it's not just me. I feel like there's a better way. Perhaps worthy of a feature request to the dev of my client (jebora).

AOC isn't exactly wrong. We've had this occur in my country just a few months ago.

There was a mass stabbing in England where three children were killed. False claims that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker spread online and led to white supremacist riots across the country. The suspect (later named because the court lifted an anonymity order) was later revealed to actually be a British born teenager with Rwandan parents. He wasn't even a Muslim.

Oddly enough, the person who first posted the misinformation was traced to be from Pakistan.
