It's also hella interesting to see this cropped poll result because the last options were "no" options which actually received a significant portion of the votes, but the poll now appears to be deleted (or I just can't find it anymore)

Like, it's one thing to run a poll snd get unfavourable results, it's another thing to crop the poll responses to portray it as giving favourable results.

Edit: Thanks to @laurenshof for the full results: https://infosec.exchange/@thenexusofprivacy/112294665652523312

@thisismissem as I posted last night... the conspiracy theories and other speculations are (as you rightly pointed out in this thread) exhausting! https://macaw.social/@andypiper/112350599989018985

@andypiper yeah, only, as now mentioned in that article at the end, I thoroughly rebuked it in this: https://medium.com/@thisismissem/why-a-hard-fork-of-mastodon-isnt-the-way-b37aecfe5c86

@thisismissem This is a seriously disingenuous crop to do and not explicitly disclaim what you did and why.
