2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Can we really call anyone who goes to fyre fest 2 a vitcim? fool me once..

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Jesus christ, not even renaming it.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

Why rename it when you have that name recognition? I mean after getting your name known in households across the US, it would be stupid to rename your business.....

[–] ech@lemm.ee 34 points 2 months ago

How this guy is allowed to run anything like this again, let alone the same exact scam is beyond me. Wtf.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let's be real. A ton of people will pay to go even if it's another absolute shit show, or especially if it's another shit show, just for the media attention. I genuinely hope it's an absolute flop, but I feel like influencers will flock

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

If he's ripping off rich people and obnoxious social media influencers, I'll help print flyers or something

You get meat with the cheese sandwich this time.

[–] dwemthy@lemdro.id 14 points 2 months ago

Technically you get to meet with the cheese sandwich. They could only afford one cheese sandwich and you meet with it over zoom to make sure you don't eat it

[–] Denalduh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Anyone that's buys a ticket for this should not be allowed to vote.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

its basically what Burning Man has evolved into. An anti-resort torture vacation for the ultra wealthy.

whats after that? perhaps active war zones.

[–] AnomalousBit@programming.dev 18 points 2 months ago

Guess I know what documentary I’ll be watching in four years

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dashcon 2 is also happening, and will at least have a ball pit.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I’d prefer Fluttercon, but I’ll take it.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

[–] caveman8000@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Yo, get Ja on the phone.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want receipts and video footage before I believe this.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, they had (staged) footage and (fraudulent) receipts the first time.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 2 points 2 months ago

Right. I totally forgot about that. Well maybe I want to hear it from the artist being invited to perform.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 9 points 2 months ago

I don’t want the negativity that I bring to kill something before it’s ready

Too late buddy

[–] cmrn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Hmm this headline doesn’t remind me of anything in US politics…

[–] Cossty@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

At least internet historian will have material for new video.

[–] bilb@lem.monster 5 points 2 months ago

Let's do a lemmy meetup at Fyre Fest II!

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Anyone going is a prime target for other scams And they deserve it
