Sure! In a world where Hexbear defederates with literally everyone because we need to protect our of users from reactionary posts, suddenly everyone comes out of the woodwork to defend "fake" and "satirical" and "silly" reactionary posting. But see, it's satire! Surely EVERYONE on a site full of a variety of wonderful neurodiversity understands it's just jokes! Clearly anyone who doesn't understand it's just jokes is a nerd and is dumb and isn't just struggling with their own neurodiversity in the lack of context that comes from largely anonymous posting online! Yes we need to protect users from reactionary posting, but not THOSE users! THOSE users are actually just dumb! It's THEIR fault that they're upset or hurt by these jokes! It's only reactionary if it hurts people who don't struggle with context online! People who struggle with context online are just dumb!!!

That's basically you and everyone that posts fake reactionary shit, in the fake news comm, the extraordinarily (thank fuck) short lived anti union comm, and all other related full on reactionary "satire". Including all the people I'll inevitably block for telling me that actually these forms of neurodiversity aren't real and don't count and that I'm just a big stupid dumb dumb for maybe thinking that even satirical or fake or obviously joking reactionary content isn't OK because it's just a prank bro! Just JOKES! That's what the fake news comm is to me, why I have it blocked, why anything and everything that comes out of it should probably just fucking stay in it instead of spilling its reactionary screed all over the rest of the site, and why I block everyone who defends it.

Anyway the fact that you can't even recognize that maybe harmful punching down satire is still harmful is why it's a skill issue.
