Looking at the comment history of the involved users the second comment from Nakoichi is referencing a different comment thread (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/2097384). While I don't agree with the initial take, it didn't need to be removed at all, much less with that reason.
Just a note, there's a bug that causes some of hexbear's emotes to be extremely large for users of other instances. The cryptocurrency emote is one of them. Other hexbear users have taken to hiding those behind spoilers to avoid annoying users from other instances.
