    Jake Lang, an online right-wing influencer and one of more than 1,500 people pardoned by President Donald Trump after their criminal convictions related to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol…

    Later, Lang posted on X that he was stabbed during a scuffle but that his protective vest blocked the attempt.

      Minneapolis police said in an email to Reuters they were aware of Lang’s social media post, but no official report had been filed with the department. Police had received no reports of injuries related to the protests from victims.

      It’s time to play the internets favorite game!

      “Sarcasm, or asshole?”

      In 2026, it’s really hard to tell…

        I mean he said the protesters are terrorists not the protesters. you cant even tell which kind of protesters he’s referencing, so how could it be either in the first place

        BigMacHole does a really good job of satirical “right wing replies.” You’ll see them more now that you’ve noticed them lol

        Thank you kind …well I was going to say “person”, since I don’t know your gender. But now your username makes “person” even questionable.

        Thank you kind life form of undetermined species!

            “user” sounds insulting.

            “lemming”…I get what you’re going for, assuming they’re on lemmy, but that also sounds insulting.

            “fedi-friend”. Now this is the reason batters get 3 strikes and not one. You got a hit with this one! I mean, not a home run…but, at least a single. Maybe even a double if the runner is fast enough.

              Fair enough - feel free to brainstorm some more and I’ll add them to my internet vocabulary :)

              Maybe something like “poster” or similar? I’m trying to think of a noun that describes what we do on these forums that’s devoid of gender indication (but still works as a singular noun/can be pluralized).

              EDIT: oh yeah I forgot “netizen”, I try to use that as well when appropriate
