        Are they an admin? The account seems to be registered on another instance. But in any event what they said is a super common misconception about the case. I guess you could make an argument that it’s spreading misinformation, but only if you’re being very literal and ignoring what most people think of when they hear “spreading misinformation”.

          I wasn’t referring to the case, but turns out I’m wrong anyway. Edited my original comment

      I wasn’t referencing that actually, but turns out it’s not true anyway. Edited my comment

        Ok got it. I assumed you were, but did figure there was a small chance you were referencing something else which is why I phrased my comment the way I did. Thanks for clarifying!
