And you’re almost raising it properly, to boot. All you need now is to drop the rhetorical question and add a link to help those unfamiliar with the event you’re referring to, and you’re all set for upvotes. Don’t forget to frame it like a question and emphasise your neutrality:

“This does seem impressive from a technological standpoint, and I fully support the initiative. However, is anyone else reminded of The Event on Day X?[0][1] I would wager this does put a damper on the credibility of this entire project. Or am I wrong?”

Seriously, though. Rhetorical questions and vague references may work well in person but they carry over very poorly on an Internet forum. Please, just get to the point.

(P.s. I’d be lying if I said this isn’t basically how I actually post here)

I think you mean, in this case, what good is a chat server "if I can't post my third reich gifs?".
