A three panel meme of someone riding a bike.

  • First panel: Someone riding on a bike. "Reddit is imploding, quick let's get on Lemmy"
  • Second panel: The bike starts to tip over on its own. "Oh shit there's too many of us, we're being defederated?"
  • Third panel: They've fallen on the ground by the bike, holding their knee in pain. "Fucking Beehaw"
