It says it's actually to puncture it, but yes. Was gonna see if someone got closer and somebody did but by the way they phrased their answer they might've reverse image searched it so you're at least a runner up if not the actual winner.

I'm not like, mad at the people who do it. A lot of people don't realize it's a game. Honestly the fact that people are seeing these and don't know it's a game means they're seeing it for the first time which means I'm attracting new people to the comm, which means I'm actually meeting my real goal; I'm trying to increase traffic and engagement on a really useful comm that's gonna help both the individuals who need help with things as well as increasing traffic and engagement in fedi as a whole so... Task failed successfully? 😅 Edit: although it looks like maybe they didn't?

Good point and sound perspective. I’ll keep that in mind next time I see a copy/paste guess. Really fun idea for a community, btw!
