gollark: It's not a very hot take. I'm just annoyed that people somehow think that the random thing someone told them is definitely true and decide to attempt to bother thousands of people about it.
gollark: Why do people keep *spreading* these ridiculous announcements about things, and trying to ping several thousand people about them?
gollark: I was talking about the petition, the moderator picture is obviously real.
gollark: That is some high-quality image editing.
