What happened anyway?

think you might be underselling it. I think a fairer assessment is some people got attacked.
Lets just revist our rules shall we:
We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.

I tried to end the carnage but I couldnât đ

I probably am underselling it, I didnât see it all, just a few bits that are still up.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
same, I donât really see there was any bad comments
but hereâs the thing
if people arenât angry and motivated in this world then thatâs a problem
we just have to be civil working together to try to sort if out and see what we can do

Iâll tell you what happened. Spud took offense to something Baku said. Baku wanted to know what it was that was offensive. Spud launched an attack. Baku retaliated. Shots were fired from both sides about what one should be allowed to post. More shots and then Baku deleted his account.

Wait, what? I guess that explains why Baku messaged me out of the blue last night. It must have been just before he deleted his account.
Iâve been too busy at work; I missed everything. Nobody reported anything though - I would have seen that.
Hrm, heâs nuked his account entirely this time, not simply marked it as deleted. That means that all the posts/messages heâs created over 18 months are deleted from the database. Which will include many daily threads.
Not sure what I think about that. I think Iâll go for a run and ponder stuff.

I didnât see anything since I was away doing movie time.
Only came back to the aftermath of it.
Not entirely sure how bad it was.
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
From what iâve pieced, an argument that got out of control because everyone is on absolute defcon 5 due to america going insane.
Which i totally get. Iâve seen more than a few people being blithe about this at people who live or have experience closer to the edges of society and honestly thatâs not a kind or smart thing to do.

I thought as much. What is happening in the US should be lesson for people here as to what not to do. Sadly, there are plenty who think that is the right direction to take.
Just yesterday I saw dome dork in a MAGA hat in my neighbourhood. My initial reaction is punch someone line that in the throat (had family that died under Nazi occupation), however the best thing to do is ignore their colours and educate others.
For now at least. I have a feeling that the high ground will not be option much longer. Really hope our leaders and media call this shit out for what it is.
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Nah fam, totally throat punch the cunt.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I knew the election had a very heavy emotional effect on some here.
We and the world survived his previous stint in the Oval Office. Weâll make it again.
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
The world has survived a lot of things. Weâve also lost a lot of things we shouldnât have doing so.
I know you mean well, but be careful. Saying something like that to someone whoâs literally a cunthair from being rounded up really doesnâtâ come across as anything other than toxic positivity.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I wasnât quite sure if I should have said anything or not and even trying to be well meaning itâs being taken quite negatively so Iâll go back to staying quiet about it.
