Thank you for the DM.

I would like to note that I am Canadian.

Fellow Canadian here. Aside from the obvious troll farms I'm wondering shouldn't Indians be more concerned of these kind of conduct than others? If the world turns a blind eye imagine in the future if the Indian state label you as a "terrorist" for saying something they don't like, you are not even safe even if you managed to get out of the country.

Hey, I kind of understand what this user is saying and why they are upset.

I honestly think their reaction was them being embarrassed about what happened and took it out on me because I was there.

I do hope that they do end up understanding that there will probably never be concrete proof of these allegations but I do believe that Canada must have a pretty good idea of what happened to even open this Pandora's Box at all.

I do understand the reaction. I have relatives in China that believe the HK protestors are foreign spies and a threat to national security that needs to be hunted down. They also thinks the political interference scandal is all made up by the Canadian government. If that's the information you hear day in and day out then it's natural that you believe in it and become upset when your reality is getting challenged.

I also agree with you on the last part. It doesn't make sense for Trudeau to take on India for no reason at this point in time when India is crucial to the West in the Indo-Pacific strategy. Unless the matter is serious he has nothing to gain and everything to lose.

I really do not getting private messages though and I hope lemmy adds the option to turn it off in the future.

I haven't looked into their code yet but that's an interesting thought. I wonder if you can fork their code and operate an instance where private messages are disabled.
