To give a real answer I think someone just started doing it and people ran with it. There’s no underlying cause. It’s a replacement for the beans thing.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's also only one person doing them.
Which is pretty impressive, imo

There are multiple accounts posting moths.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

There's two of them today. For the past week it's been one person.

Whose doing moths? Someone should stop them, moths and humans aren't compatible.

Okay, maybe we can make an exception for you, Mothra. I mean, that's a whole lot of thick moth.

Let ye who has never boofed a moth cast the first stone

Moths just are.

Well, it started Here

Then it expanded Like a contagion

Until Random, unconnected individuals started spreading it

But, Lemmy got it in a different way so the spread isn't as severe.
