Zoom WAAAAY into the image - if it was "faked" the background would've been pixelated - unless you think they had the time in the middle of a major rebrand + migration to create an entire mockup down to the details from scratch.
For anyone who uses photoshop, or even AI tools, to edit images, they'll say that it takes a ton of time to make it look right when zooming in.
It's also incredibly difficult to find the right fonts, and even match the sizes and proper font weight. They'd also have to copy and paste just the tiny circle image of the avatars, and put it at just the right alignment and spacing with the username and timestamp. I mean, this would be heck of piece of hellart to create and get it literally pixel-perfect. In the middle of a rebrand and migration.

Slips [READ MY BIO BEFORE FOLLOWING ME]@aces @tromino @[email protected] @xerz It's also worth considering the stakes for both parties.
Kainoa really didn't stand to gain from faking this (really the only thing it did in this scenario is make Pixie look worse, which doesn't help them at all, and even if that was their goal it was entirely unnecessary lol, she already looked pretty bad for the whole fediblock nonsense.) In no way do they benefit
In contrast, Pixie had a lot to gain from claiming that this message was faked, considering an accusation like this looks very bad for her and could even call into question her fitness as an administrator.
