As soon as I saw there were no microphones to record his idiotic talking, I knew this would happen. I literally thought “He’s going to pull an Ontario News Now after banning the real press.”

You think this is nonsense?

Go look at your president’s social media posts.

If I had a nickel for every time I, someone who is radically against using AI of any kind, was accused of posting “AI slop”.

Where do you get the idea that this is “so much AI slop”?

I’m genuinely curious.

Lol. What are you, like 14?

First of all, flaunting your ignorance to the point of repeatedly getting the dude’s name wrong when his name is IN THE TITLE OF THE POST is very much not the flex you think it is.

But hey, I’m feeling generous, so since in your infinite hours of being chronically online, you don’t have a minute to search the guy on a search engine, I’ll help you out.

He’s the guy who made the Unplug America website, a list of Canadian alternatives to American tech, which is where I learned about the existence of Lemmy, Ehnow, and others.

Other than that, I don’t really know. He’s got a lot more internet clout than I do, which is why I thought posting his video might give the links I was trying to post more credibility. Haven’t heard of EhNow? Ok, here’s a video about it. I’m not chronically online to the point of being too cynical to talk like a human being, so I don’t know much more about him. You’re going to have to do at least a little bit of work yourself if you want to know more. Sorry if that’s too hard.

The most laughable part of that last comment is how you just assume that I’m “Tom” which only adds to the cringe and secondhand embarrassment I feel for you.

“I’ve never heard of this guy therefore he’s YOU! Giving him a dumb little nickname makes me look smarter! k bye”

I can think of another dude who gives people dumb little nicknames whenever he’s upset. Can you guess who I’m talking about?

Jesus christ I can’t remember the last time I’ve cringed so hard.

I’m only one person. If you’d like to volunteer to help me publicize it that’d be great.

It’s not my job to educate you.

The statistic I think that bothers me the most is how many Americans have the right to own a gun, vs how many have attempted to turn the orange pedo into an orange pedo with a hole through him. Now that is some dedicated apathy. They can organize enough can storm the capital (admittedly with the pedo’s help), but when overthrowing their government becomes actually necessary all they can do is protest, without their precious guns, like, what, 4 times a year? What a joke. If they don’t care about Canada, that’s fine, I’m used to that, but pedo man is fucking them all over 6 ways from Sunday, yet every day is another news story about how he’s still alive and saying stupid shit. They’re too busy shooting each other in schools and workplaces to take aim at their oppressors. The thought that a country full of armed citizens “can’t” do anything about a lunatic authoritarian president is so laughably stupid to me. Every day that goes by and they haven’t ended his reign, whether by violent or by constitutional means, my respect for the Americans keeps declining. I never knew it was possible for it to get this low.

Please stop any more of your tears and I’ll drown!

Lol

I’m the butthurt one, eh?

I appreciate you explaining it in a clear and coherent way, and not just accusing me of being some suspicious scammer without giving any reason. Thank you.

Yes linking a social media site you don’t have an account on automatically makes it a “false flag”

Must be fun in that paranoid bubble.

Because this is a grassroots movement that I started myself. The fuck do you people want? If doesn’t have “engagement by legitimate sources” whatever the fuck that means, that makes me a “lazy scammer”?

Whatever paranoid bubble you’re living in, it’s not worth it.

I post a screenshot of the details of the event. I post a link to this very website for the event instead of EhNow. And you’re still suspicious? of what?

Just look up what EhNow is! Its a legit Canadian social media site. There’s nothing to be suspicious about. Good lord.

I don’t know anything about an app redirect as I only use the internet on a desktop computer, but I am not understanding how that would be “suspect”

the fact that your account was just created yesterday is very suspicious.

Why?

I’m new on the site and that makes me “suspicious?”

Because I posted a link to a protest?

What am I being suspected of, exactly?

Not knowing about Lemmy before yesterday? Crime of the century.

Also, this isn’t a work email, it’s an internet forum.

I’m genuinely curious what is it that you’re so scared of? You think because I posted a link to a Canadian social media site that you’re not familiar with, it’s like a virus or something?

C’mon man.

Ok, then I guess you meant something different when you said “Sign in not required for decent, community-minded social media to just observe.”

Exclusive nature? Company it keeps? I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about anymore.

Ehnow is a Canadian social media site similar to twitter. Yeah, it makes you sign up to use it, which I already stated before, that I was not aware of, when I posted. People share pictures, their thoughts, links, videos…, you know, social media. It’s not for everyone, I don’t even really like social media. I just use it to try and create more awareness about the protest, and because it’s a Canadian site. But it’s surely not “suspicious.” What are you so suspicious about? What background checks? Not like I’m posting some virus link. Like, chill out.

I already conceded, I already said I won’t post external links to other websites. I made a community right here on Lemmy. You completely ignored that, and chose to continue harping on me for posting an EhNow link. I only recently found out about Lemmy and EhNow from the Unplug America list and signed up for both because they are Canadian. Hey.cafe too. You not knowing about the existence of websites does not automatically mean such websites are suspicious.

I don’t understand what argument you’re still trying to make here. You already won. Lemmy is the only site I will ever link to going forward. You should be happy now. No more big bad “suspicious” links that you’ll have to do background checks and go through the ordeal of creating a free account. God forbid.

Look I just created the group. I didn’t create the website. I genuinely did not know you couldn’t view content without logging in, as I already had an account. I realize your opinion is that EhNow is not decent or community minded but we can differ on opinion there, that’s fine. Seems no one on Lemmy is interested in using any other website, whether it’s Canadian or not, and that’s fine too. I went ahead and created a Lemmy community for this, so next time I post about it there will be no external links to any other website.

Why is making CP a feature of AI?

I ain’t crossing that border.
