    If I had the money I'd buy it and replace every post with goatse.

    EDIT: wtf the insane asylum is loose. Halp

    You'd be buying the domain name, not the lemmy instance. So if you wanted to replace every post with whatever, you'd first have to set up your own server and create a new lemmy instance for your newly purchased domain name. You'd have to take extra sets then to mangle your lemmy instance such that it didn't show the real posts but instead showed what you wanted...

    In the end that technical work would be more expensive than the domain name... and probably not worth the effort for a short-lived and mean-spirited joke.

    The idea is stupid, sure, but it's not like it's any more sexual harassment than posting pictures of a pig's ass repeatedly. Hexbear users (many of whom I quite like) should be used to it.

    Yeah harassing homeless people asking for 20 bucks so they can avoid their next hypoglycemic seizure with mid 2000's edgy shock porn explicitly for the purpose of being cruel to them IS EXACTLY THE SAME as harassing deliberate trolls acting in bad faith with a picture of an animal's butt so they go away.

    You're a perfectly well adjusted person who I totally wouldn't believe hurts small animals for fun.

    Swear to god Hexbear is the best thing that's ever happened to the internet if only because we get to see a lot of people's real faces when they react to it.
