I know the opinion of one anonymous user doesn't carry a lot of weight but this would be my counterargument:

Upvotes are not a good gauge when people will upvoted anything that reinforces their beliefs. Even if it's straight up wrong like so many social media screenshots are.

Not all engagement is good engagement and more activity doesn't necessarily lead to a better community. Lemmy has been flooded with ragebait and say-nothing tweets lately and I fear it's becoming the norm

In my experience, if I took this down, the trolls will come out and attack so hard that any other kinds of posts get drowned out. Also, this is being upvoted outside of what I think the trolls can manage in briggading for the fediverse. This would be no problem for reddit, but I haven't seen it here.

Edit: I should note that this poster is one of our best OPs and probably thought it was funny. Doesn't stop it from being troll bait though.

I don't necessarily think you should remove this one but I'm all for a rule update in general
