    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.

    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…

    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.

      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.

        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?

              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.

                  Only to find out that the UK was becoming equally dangerous and it serves him right for being such a cunt. Hah! Plan failed.

                  However, he personally told me—many times—his intention to kill himself after he “saved” his allegedly estranged wife and daughter. Something about medical issues. Clearly mental but I don’t know what else.

                  So, unless your ass has heard from him in the past… oh, 6 months or so, then I’m sure he just did what he wanted to do the entire time. I seriously doubt someone to obsessed with abusing people online could stay away from Lemmy.

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

        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.
