    So, when you remove what I assume is an announcement bot and lizard people from the equation, the answer is George Takei? Yeah, that sounds about right.

      I don’t like threads at all, but referring to Mark Zuckerberg and Adam Mosseri as “lizard people” is pretty antisemitic, especially since they are both Jewish people.

      I’m guessing that you were unfamiliar with this antisemitic dogwhistle, but I also understand that’s the point of a dogwhistle - It doesn’t sound racist unless you already know about it.

        Or just possibly it hasn’t got anything to do with Jewish people. This might come as a shock but not everything does.

        This is from someone with a reasonable amount of that heritage telling you to shut the hell up already. You’re not the main character.
