To the downvoters of this: seriously, you are not ready for someone not to know everything? Not knowing doesn’t mean not caring - I don’t remember the previous victim’s name, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care that she was murdered
Most services, including Lemmy, have an infinite wall of posts. Checking every name would be a full-time job. And writing a title “John Doe who is/was/will be (explanation), (what happened/will happen)” is super easy, as you have to write something anyway
If you have enough interest to make a comment on a post you should have enough interest to open up another window and quickly put a name into a search engine. It’s pathetically easy.
If I’m going to waste my fucking life writing a dumb question I’ll have to take time to check back on that would make me an idiot when Google is right fucking there.
I assume all of those comments are meant to pretend like it’s not important. It’s 2026. Come the fuck on.

But it’s a white American that got murdered this time. How could people possibly not remember his name?
I’m not american
No Google exists where you’re from or?
I don’t blame them for not knowing, I’m blaming them for not doing the fucking bare minimum of just looking the name up first.
