Speculation: what if it was Amber/Amazi-Girl that released the list? :psyduck:

Still doesn't alter the fact that this is a major deal...

Again, it's only a "major deal" if anyone other than the three of them even know it happened. No one can react to events they don't know occurred.
Kugai:
Joe, you really can be an utter prick sometimes.

Out there no sleep speculation: Maybe Dorothy leaked the list to give everyone a distraction. If the knife is known about, the list would be a distraction from the trauma. More likely if it's not known about, the distraction could buy some time and space to deal with the situation.
I doubt this is it but it popped into my brain.

Okay, I'm taking today's strip as meaning that Joe has real feelings for Joyce. Not necessarily romantic feelings but feelings; likely growing friendship. Joe realised that he is growing closer emotionally with a woman whom he once found sexually desirable enough to date (he rarely goes to such lengths to trap his prey). Given his aversion to romantic relationships, I can imagine that lead to a very strong fear reaction.
As always seems to happen, fear led to anger and resentment. Lacking emotional maturity, Joe's reaction was to lash out at Joyce in a passive-aggressive way by editing his 'review' of her into a flaming put-down.
However, Joyce has ripped off his mask just by way of asking the right question. Joe once again proves just how young he is emotionally by running away from something that he desperately does not want to confront.
To further elaborate: I suspect that Joe’s laptop has a three- or four-page draft ‘in-depth review’ of Joyce that he wrote but never posted on the feed because it horrified him. It began to lapse into sappy poetry about her beauty (inner and outer) and rated her as "10+ Snap this up and keep it before someone else does!"
When he realised what he’d done, he had a panic attack and responded by publishing a flame about her instead. He’s still got the review, though. He’s been elaborating on it by adding photos of her in candid moments and even a sound-track of some sort. It’s become his guilty addiction to just sit there at night and once again read through the review.
Yes, I’m saying that the ‘Zero-minus’ thing represents a fear reaction and a wall of denial.
