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!
