I didn't actually have this thought in the shower, but close enough: so many instances defedering from lemmygrad is the fediverse equivalent of international sanctions.
"In lemmygrad they only post pictures of the supreme leader and you are forced to upvote them all and if you don't do it then the mods execute you and then they eat your body before the rats do it so they won't starve".
There was a post on lemmy.world the other day where someone said users here were all paid agents who would be executed if we deviated from talking points.
You will upvote this picture of dear supreme leader and if I see a single speck of dust on that upvote your entire family will get genocided by the killer dolphin gestapo!
