Gee, I wonder why people might seek a disaster recovery plan?

Still haven't seen Flying Squid around here since their departure several months ago.

Dude was a cunt.

But he was a nerdy cunt who learned in with us politically so it's okay!

Yeah he disappeared quickly, I DM him but no response. I just hope he is okay, and he was able to get his wife out of America.

Guy was an ass but that's not cool. He had shit going on in his life and in the grand scheme of things never hurt you.

The hell? I’m just stating facts.

This was reported as misinformation, but I have no idea what this means. To me, this looks like a bot talking to a bot. Can other people weigh in and confirm I’m not just ignorant of whatever this is about before I ban what I think are bot accounts?

What? FlyingSquid the former .world mod disappeared randomly.
jordanlund@lemmy.world MOD · 1 pts · 265d
It wasn't random and he absolutely did not kill himself.
velindora@lemmy.cafe · 0 pts · 265d
Sure, he went insane. And I guess that wasn’t random because he was wreaking havoc all over the place.
And yes. He’s been planning his suicide for a long time. The fact you didn’t know that means you don’t know much about him.

He packed up his family and moved to the UK due to Trump's America being too dangerous for them.

It wasn’t misinformation. It’s just disliked information. Prove he didn’t.

Can't blame them, and hope it works out for them. I'm sure most of them won't even end up moving, but just knowing you have the option to leave will relieve a bit of stress, I imagine.

100%. I'm holding out hope that things can turn around after Trump dies. Vance is violently unlikeable and midterms are looking like a blue sweep at the moment. Democrats aren't the end goal, but at least they're not actively purging the 'undesirables'.
This shit is so exhausting...

I'm sure the Neoliberals will do something that makes everyone vote red again.

Anecdotal, n=about 12 or so, but in my little city in NL we have had at least five different families leave the States and move into my neighborhood. The last two years I hear just tons of N American accented English in town, and these folks are not tourists. They are grocery shopping and doing we-live-here stuff.
Then again, it's fairly easy to come to NL.

I'm surprised at how few other countries want American immigrants right now.
It will be really scary if we start filling up a ton of camps, other countries won't be offering refugee status.
