I don't see that comment. I searched for "whole thing was fake", and your comment is the only hit.
I see lots of posts on lemmy complaining about people like that, but I never seem to actually see the people myself. I'm honestly not sure why that is. Maybe it's just the kinds of threads I read?
(Scrolling and in this thread; there are a few deleted comments; maybe that's whats going on. And there are also a few comments that seem a bit defensive - so I suppose those could be examples of the people the thread is about.)

@Crow_Thief reason: misinformation
The fact that even this comment got downvoted is wild. This comment section really is a dumpster fire, legit respect to the mods here prob working overtime
