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.

It’s not my job to educate you.

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

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.

I ain’t crossing that border.

I don’t remember saying any of that. Did YOU read what I wrote? Is everyone being my enemy some sort of guess on your part? This kind of stupid shit is exactly why I left reddit. Learn how to have an adult conversation instead of “Oh maybe you’re this oh maybe you’re that oh you think this and you think that” Go outside.

That’s a sad excuse for a “mantra”

facepalm

phishing attacks? are you serious? It’s not a phishing attack.

I’m trying to spread the word about an anti-annexation protest.

You’re paranoid because there’s no O?

No, I don’t know why. I didn’t make the website, nor do I really know how URLs work. It’s a legit link though. Your paranoia is unwarranted.

I think it has something to do with linking to the app version vs the website version.

I didn’t realize people on here were THIS paranoid.

Do you think youtube links are phishing attacks when it’s a shorter version?

“this link says ‘yt’ and not ‘youtube’ clearly it’s a phishing attack.”

Just…wow.

Link has been changed to a screenshot.

I don’t pray for my government to do things, if that’s what you mean. I do things like vote, and protest when the big country next door threatens to make me part of the 51st state and constantly and relentlessly bullies and insults me.

I agree…but I would NEVER openly advocate for violence against the Americans on an open internet forum! I’m clutching my pearls with such shock and offence at the very idea! Oh no of course not we must ONLY protest and not get violent. And the Americans should certainly NOT get violent towards their government with their second amendment and all of their guns that they all have the right to and whatnot for basically the exact thing happening right now. Oh no how terrible that would be if they used all those precious guns of theirs to put a stop to the fascism. Certainly I would not advocate for violence like that oh no not me I am only posting about a protest.

I suppose not. Ehnow is a Canadian social network though, found on Tod Maffin’s unplug America site (which I don’t have the link to right now but just search for it) it’s not like you’d have to sign up for some Zuck Meta crap. I don’t even use social media normally but I sign up anyway to give the site one more user vs the 'murican sites.

Edit: I changed the link to a screenshot you that you won’t have to log in to see what this is.

You.

It’s not a “link to a login wall” It’s an event. I guess EhNow (which is kinda like the Canadian version of something similar to twitter) doesn’t let you view it without an account. Bummer.
