It's a copypasta from, what I'm inferring, is before your time.

A man named Unidan became a beloved figure of the reddit community, akin to /u/Poem_For_Your_Sprog, fucking /u/shittymorph, etc. He would glide into threads, drop bird facts and then talk with the people who replied to his comments before fluttering away.

Fast forward to the jackdaw incident where he very incorrectly stated the paragraph above, and that's about all I know besides his reddit fame imploded afterwards. I want to say there was more of him being a fucker to it, but I didn't care enough to remember.

You're only forgetting that he was using alt accounts to upvote himself and steer the points.

That was the fuckery, thank you.

It must be very old copypasta indeed to be before my time, I'm 42 lol

Lol, I had to make an assumption so I assumed what I thought would be least insulting. Either way - I've given you part of the story, Obi gave you the rest.
