This isn't 8-dimensions.

For someone who works in this space this would be a simple framing attempt. I give that like one dimension, maybe one and a half. In reality it's probably just a dumb crook or someone doing it for the lulz.

Someone has a bot that scrapes Github for Discord bot tokens and deletes all content in servers it has permissions in and replaces it with info saying X person did it and to "come to his house."

Stuff like that is pretty common I feel for people to use against their enemies. Especially if it was designed to be small and got out of hand.

Or maybe they know it'll look too dumb and thus suspect a framing attempt, so it's 3D class after all.
