You’re literally copying the Trump playbook. Just bully people you disagree with.

Justify it how you want I guess

It’s wild how you guys went to full Trumptard mode so quickly

I’m not kissing ass. I’m just acting normal, whereas people like you have suddenly gone full NRA. You’re making us all look weird

Also, interesting that you’ve resorted to childish name calling. Reminds me a group of people

No. I’m not.

Never said that.

Dumb comment

Wtf are you talking about?

So it’s ok to act like a bunch of fucking terrorists and just start targeting people?

You know nothing about me. I am definitely not rich and I’m definitely not taking the side of the wealthy. I’m definitely on the side of you guys getting free health care or public health insurance like here in Australia

You need to take a step back though and see how weird and radicalised people some people here are acting. 2 years ago we would have called them loonies and reported them, but now suddenly it’s ok?

If you guys want the network to be shut down or taken over by authorities, this is the way.

No, it’s not ok to start just listing people and suggesting people attack them.

What some people are doing will get us all on a watchlist

I never said that

I was a tradie and more than one of my rich customers was arrested and found guilty

The first one who pulled a massive scam spent months joking with people he was innocent and was adamant it was bs… He started asking us all the best way to encrypt his communications too at one point (which was suss)

The silver bullet was when investigators found the computers at the school he was apparently operating weren’t even plugged in. Yes, they were that stupid

Another one was my ex’s bf who did lots of dodgy shit. Guy oozeed evidence

Yet another stole the security cameras outside a building. They took their hoodie off for a second and looked up at the camera, and then put it back on.

My point was, criminals will always tell you they’re innocent. And yes, a lot of them do make mistakes. Police didn’t plant a bunch of unplugged computer for my customer and it’s entirely possible this guy called lots of cash

Trump is the perfect example. Just because they say they’re innocent doesn’t mean it’s true. They possibly are. But them claiming they’ve been framed in my experience is meaningless.

There are lots of criminals I’ve personally come across who frankly are stupid enough to carry evidence. Yeah I’ll get downvoted and I get nobody here gives a shit about honest discussions anymore, but in my experience, it’s common.

Criminal says they’re not guilty. Never heard that before

What’s fucking insane is the way people were practically making a checklist of people to kill

This place was turning into thedonald, where abuse was upvoted

You know it’s bad when even 4chan people were acting normal in comparison

It’s weird how lemmy was going full NRA.

Honestly, I went back to Reddit to take a look and they were acting so normal in comparison.

I don’t support the CEO either, but this place was starting to sound more like truth social and 4chan

No

In other news, 34 criminal convictions by a unanimous jury (which is near impossible to win) doesn’t make you a criminal either apparently. You’re only a criminal if you’re related to Biden (and don’t worry, revenge porn by Marjorie is perfectly ok too)

You could bring down the average conviction rate in the US simply by deporting Trump

I haven’t seen any difference there honestly.

Here in Australia also, pre covid a leader for a hiking group was well known in the community and made racist comments. Reported them, and nothing was done.

I need to get rid of them at this point.

I really wish cool Americans like you would move here to Australia, and we could just export all of our wankers

This has nothing to do with the problem at Meetup

I’ve been running a free Meetup for 8+ years

The actual issue is the costs, the shitty photo upload system and the fact that they send all hosts paid events for their own hosting group which can’t be blocked

It’s not enshitification. It has been shit for 8 years at least

There have always been expensive events.

Who is upvoting this shit?

This shit is starting to sound like the Donald or extremist groups
