What's alarming about that? One of the most common troll behaviors is jaqing off, pretending not to have an agenda when you do.

Regardless, the comment isn't even in the negatives, so for as many down voted more upvoted.

I didn't downvote, but I can assume the reason is that other sources like the one you just affirmed had already been posted in this thread by the time you asked. It was likely interpreted as disingenuous.

People blindly trusting an image with no citation to a legitimate source is a plague on our society. Thank you for being skeptical and asking.

It's a bit of group think. I noticed in on Reddit and on Lemmy it's the same. You easily downvote someone if they're already very low and the statement is not welcome in the current context.

Some of my reddit posts why <-200 are the ones I'm most proud of, e.g. one where I stood against torture and death sentence, even in the context of a child rapist.

Probably many people just thought you were "just asking" to spread doubts instead of… actually wanting to know a source. Don't think about it too much :)
