Hey guys isn’t it crazy how fast spread fear is? Like, it’s easily compared to something more relatable [the common example being one of many wars], with rentry.

Like, probably a couple people misunderstood the rules and added that odd “``` i own this url. i know my edit code. if anyone tries resetting it its not me. i will never trade this. i got this fairly” to their urls.

And the people seeing that felt like if they didn’t have the same thing, they were weak—someone could take their stuff from them or something.

Despite, very obviously, being a useless phrase. Everyone started using it.

Almost all of you said you did it because others did. And it would be better to be wrong and feel safe with the community than to not, I guess. Whatever it’s a cool example

I just did it because i wanted ppl to know IM the one who owned it. I did it out of a need to flex on them / JOKE JOKE JOKE
