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.

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.

There ya go. That link doesn’t have the pesky phone number requirement.

There. Now you can see it and you don’t have to sign up for anything.

Certainly not the nation of criminals. I wish them the most great and tremendous food shortages and subsequent famine. Oh and preventable disease epidemics from vaccine-curable diseases that used to be eradicated.

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.

It’s really not that hard. I mean you created this one, right? Not like i’m posting a meta or twitter link. Site is Canadian…

you GTFO

Shame about your credit.

I think you can get temp phone numbers for free online though.

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.
