      No, but I barely recall what bored ape is or how it is culturally relevant…which is why I thought of it

        how it is culturally relevant

        That’s the neat part: it isn’t.

            What is with all the “not my problem” replies all of a sudden. This is a sad troll effort.

              what do you mean? I haven’t seen one myself yet. It’s just a common expression.

              I don’t think that comment is trolling, just a bit low effort post. But that’s nothing rare in Lemmy/Reddit.

                I have received something like 5 different replies to separate replies of my own, from new accounts with only one comment, all of which end with “not my problem.” It’s almost like a bot keyed off that phrase from my reply in a privacy community post, or there are some butthurt people with too much time on their hands.

                  It sounds like a weirdly specific thing for a bot to do.

                  It could be a case of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon:

                  Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias referring to the tendency to notice something more often after noticing it for the first time, leading to the belief that it has an increased frequency of occurrence.The illusion is a result of increased awareness of a phrase, idea, or object – for example, hearing a song more often or seeing red cars everywhere.

                    I was just informed that someone is following me around downvoting everything, which is hilarious since my instance has downvotes disabled. It’s definitely some idiot or a group of them.

                    edit: also, its adorable that you suggest it’s all in my head, it’s not. I have the receipts. And the fact they are all coming from new accounts with only the one comment each is pretty obvious.
