You’re coming in pretty hot for no good reason. I didn’t know there were multiple thorn people. I thought it was just the one guy that was lemmy famous for using the thorn. Now that you know where I was coming from, maybe you could lighten up a bit. I wasn’t going to say nothing when that dude was being gross and people were glazing him in this post
I tried to look back in my comment history when I wrote this comment to find the reply but the thread it was on got deleted. I can’t even copy the URL to my comment for you. Feel free to go back in my comment history and read what I said. It was about a month ago. Maybe you have the know-how to view the reply to my comment.
Saw the screenshots and yeah, that’s pretty gross and indefensible, but that’s not one of the users I was thinking of which is why I wanted you to specify. There are a number of users who use the thorn and they are harassed and brigaded constantly, and it’s a soft spot for me because they remind me of my childhood friends who were “anime kids” in a rural high school. Their enthusiasm and perceived “quirks” made them targets of bullying and social ostracization, and the things people say about the thorn users are the same sorts of snarky comments kids would make about my friends. “Oh to each their own, but they’re so annoying,” “They have to be trolling, no one’s actually like that,” etc. That’s why I came in so hot, I don’t want their experience on Lemmy to be any worse than it already is.
