Posts referencing some things happening or not happening in small towns are all over lemmy & mastodon, sometimes with a picture of some country singer (?) with a cowboy hat (but never with a name do I can’t just google what’s going on).
Apparently it has something to do with threatening violence?
Thanks for the summary! My bad, didn’t think “small town country music” would’ve been specific enough to go off, but guess I underestimated the algorithm again. Should’ve at least tried according to some of these responses I guess
Seemed likely to me that those words would show up in news articles about the issue.
