    I definitely agree that educating people about these symbols is important and positive, but just… using them… is not a good method?

    “Those that know know” ??? directly contradicts your stated intention

      The intention was to instigate discussion. Which it did. Otherwise it would have been just another link that someone might have skimmed over.

      Using it would have been treating it as a secret code that it is and not highlighting it. By highlighting it Etc the only way it was being used was as an example for people to inform themselves and learn from. Used to see that sort of bullshit all the time over on Reddit. Thankfully Lemmy is a better space.
