U.S. Ambassador says Canadians are consuming an ‘unhealthy’ amount of American news - eviltoast

Is it weird to be an American interested in Canadian news?

      It is the same, and your less than two week old account and comment history are highly questionable in both intent and motivation. While your accusation lacks depth and merit.

        I’ve been here since the Great Reddit Migration of June 2023. But first I started on kbin.social. Died. Moved to kbin.run. Died. So now here I am.

        Your accusation lacks depth and merit .

        You also very clearly did not read any of my comments because not a single one of them is a trolling sort of comment. It looks pretty pathetic trying to “win” the way you are.

        Also, I question how active you really are if you don’t recognize my username because I have been very active for over a year now. Too active because I have too much time on my hands. I have maintained the same username throughout four different instances.

          Good Lord did you read that out loud before you posted it? I mean you have to know how that sounds right?

            I recognize frequent posters, so I assume others do too, but I guess not.

                Not at all what I was going for, but I can see you thinking that. I think recognizing frequent posters is kind of just a basic level of awareness thing, but it’s totally fair that plenty of people might not read usernames, might not be as chronically online as I am, or otherwise have a reason that they don’t recognize frequent posters.

                I just thought it was ridiculous that this person tried to discount what I had to say simply by the fact that I am currently using a relatively new account.

          Anyone can make an account on a new instance with that name and claim to be the original person, so “same name, difference instance” isn’t a way to tell who someone is. When you spin up a new account, it’s a new account.

          That being said, I don’t think your post history is highly questionable.

            That’s true, but I have to ever encounter anyone on any platform using this particular name. Which is nice. But yeah, anyone could try to pretend to be me.
