Ah yes, the people supporting the leopards eating faces club are once again surprised the leopards ate their face.
Heeeyyy I wonder leopard ate my face transitioned to Lemmy.
The problem with those sorts of niche communities is that they need constant (sometimes heavy-handed) moderation to remain on topic. The Fediverse is not really good at that yet.
That and there needs to be a core of dedicated posters producing new, and good, content.
Reddit made a lot of it easy. Good(ish) mod tools (if you used third party apps or browser extensions) and communities that were large enough to keep people interested in the niche subs.
Every single time I see, hear or think any variation of that phrase, I can't help but mentally follow it up with "Caaaarl".
Paul: "How could you eat MY face?"
Carl: "It's quite simple actually: I took a look at your face, found it tasty, tool a little bite and ate it."
Paul: "That doesn't answer my question!"
Carl: "I remember you specifically giving me permission to, and i quote, 'eat all these faces'."
Paul: "Yeah, i was hoping that you wouldn't eat MY face! The face of your buddy, your best friend, your... soulmate."
Carl: "You could have been a bit more specific then. Now your face is gone. I ate it. And it was quite delicious."
Paul: "... Caaaaaarl."
Carl: "Really delicious! Yum!"
He is the leopard.
Ooo, is this like cutting off your nose to spite your face, or a leopard fight?

A leopard sword fight, perhaps?
