I’m in the United States. Way back in the day, I worked as a bill collector. A customer made a similar comment to me while my supervisor was recording the call, just coincidentally for quality. They reported him to the police and I was later asked to testify at his trial. He was sentenced to six months in jail for making terroristic threats.
For context, this was shortly after 9/11 so people were on high alert. I doubt anyone at Lemmy is going to report you, we’re just concerned that sort of behavior is going to cause an amount of trouble that later cost/benefit analyses would lead you to regret.
That’s the internet way, though! When provided with criticism, double down on whatever you’re doing in the most melodramatic way possible. Do so doubly if the criticism is well meaning.
