          If you think it’s bad here, try Bluesky. It’s like the lefty, smarter version of FB, and yet no one reads the article. Weirded me out after being here where people tear into the thing.

        Thanks for the snark. My point is that the title is backwards.

          How so? Wasn’t really trying to be a jerk, but someone posted an article about how/why there’s the association and you asked if there was an association. Seemed weird.

            No, my point is that it’s a Guy Fawkes mask, not an “Anonymous Mask.”

        For those of us who know… Anon is associated with the Guy Fawks movie character mask.

          They (big collective so they being very loosely used) also posted pictures and some videos in the beginning where a couple of them wore the masks themselves. Really wish my brain worked at all as to where I even saw those
