I’m not getting into any details at all about this but shits fucking bad. I wouldn’t doubt some more users might get harassed.

Thanks for deciding to federate and putting us in the fucking spotlight!

        They post in the fake news community a lot. Hence the fake news. This is serious stuff that affects all leftists and I'm sure it will become only more common in the near future

          They make similar posts in other comms as well, and fakenews was created as a containment comm for Melina because they posted fakenews-esque stories for a long time.

            I agree. This is truly a concerning 'boy who cried wolf' moment. It's one thing to make dumbass jokes, it's another to be known for regularly posting fake and alarming stories.

            Best of luck to everyone here.

            Also, thinking about it more. Why not go into detail if it happened?

            It's not like Melina can maintain anonymity from the feds by not going into details. They'd already be identified because the feds went to their home, right? The username has been connected to the person already. What would be gained by not giving some details and just putting out some alarmist post like this? If it may cause trouble to go into details then might as well not post anything to avoid upsetting feds by talking about it at all.

            Nah, I think it's fake. I'm sorry to anyone I convince and suffers if I turn out to be wrong but I'm calling bullshit.

          The uhhh. The chapotraphouse comm is also pretty much entirely dedicated to shitposting and always has been.

          There's definitely grounds for being confused about this post.
