Ohh, yes it does to people. I've had two idiots so far try to use downvotes to intimidate me to submitting to their opinion. It did not work on me because I am an asshole. They tried it because they believe it matters, and everyone else believes it matters too, otherwise they wouldn't be downvoting. Or upvoting, respectively.
That is what makes me think there's something more to this.
I think rival companies might groom CEOs that get hired by their competitors but whom, secretly, are paid by the rivals to destroy the companies from within.
Perhaps I'm wrong but that's the only explanation I've been able to come up with that makes any sense to me.
A fair point. None of the news articles even give us any real, meaningful details as to what happened so we don't know if it was just execs who were threatened or if, perhaps, there was a bomb threat or something. I wish we could see a screenshot of the actual threat so we could make a determination.
Fair. Lemmy seriously needs to be fixed though.
