I usually enjoy the conversations they create, could do less with the poopy pig but that’s not a big deal enough to defederate IMO.

What is the deal with that pig anyway? I’m out of the loop, but I’ve seen it a few times.

It was a shock reaction image that became popular on r/cth and kind of became a mascot for the sub & then later for chapo.chat/hexbear.
Honestly, we all got so used to it that it became a nothingburger internally, just a way to tell someone to eff off. I was surprised to see it actually affecting people post-federation, but that’s also attributable to the emoji bug.
