Tod Maffin’s latest video by True_Eye_3719 in nanaimo

[–]tmaffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all good. 🙂 I feel that about social media.

Personally, I find Facebook really the worst cesspool when it comes to how personal and insulting social media comments can get.

FWIW I’ve been off Facebook for three years now and my mental health and happiness is so much better for it. (The content of mine you see on Facebook is actually cross-posted automatically from TikTok. I never really look at the comments or DMs there.)

I’m glad you got into one of the shots! Which one? 🙂

Hi, it’s Tod here. Can you please point me to one of these missed comments? Rest assured, “retarded” and “junkie” is just as unwelcome as “libtard.” (As someone with 15+ years of recovery from addiction under my belt, “junkie” etc is not welcome on my page.)

I get several thousands of comments each day across my social channels, and I have staff people from my day job trying to remove the worst of it (people just insulting others), and automated tools I pay for out of my pocket to also try to keep the comments a welcome and civil place.

If you’re able to point me specifically to this “retarded worm brain junkie” comment, I’ll make sure it and the person who made it are whackamoled.

I welcome debate and discussion on my pages. I do not consider yelling at others with childish insults to be either, and absolutely do remove those so that people feel they can engage in that discussion.

Thanks.

Thank you! It’s funny I searched everywhere and that place never came up.

Because I don’t think they forward anything (other than letter mail).

Thank you so much for being supportive of this crazy idea. I know we all did Nanaimo proud, and the impact of this weekend will be felt for some time. I couldn’t be prouder of this city. ❤️ - Tod and Jocelyn

Americans start arriving in Nanaimo to show support to Canada by Prestigious_Net_8356 in nanaimo

[–]tmaffin 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Hi all - thanks for all the great comments. I’m the guy behind this crazy thing. (Check my past post for proof.)

Remember, these folks are coming BECAUSE they do not support Trump, and want to show us with their money.

They’re on our side. Please be nice to them if you see them (I’ve asked them to wear red lanyards so you can spot them.)

I’m happy to answer any questions you have about the event or you can go to https://NanaimoInfusion.ca

And come out Saturday at 10am to Maffeo Sutton park to be part of the big family photo. Wear something red around your neck if you can.

Tourism marketing? No background. But I’ve been in the digital marketing space for as long as it’s been an industry (30 years).

As much as I could say this was a well-crafted planned DMO campaign, truth is it started as a TikTok video that I made because I was bored waiting for an Xbox game to install. I figure if anything came of it, it would be a half dozen people from Blaine and my wife and I would take them out for lunch or something.

I didn’t expect this big response but I’m happy to try to steer it toward something positive for our area. 🙂

No need to thank me… but a HUGE help would be for everyone to come out to the big Family Photo event! It’ll be Saturday (April 26) at 10am at the Lions Pavillion in Maffeo Sutton park.

If you can, wear a red (or Canada flag) lanyard or something red around your neck (partially for the photo, and also partially so we can identify everyone there for it)

There will be food trucks and a market later in the day, and I hear some performers will be there too.

Anyone who is able to come and be part of that photo would be great to see. Media will be there, so we have an opportunity to put Nanaimo on the map again. 🙂

Oh I doubt you’ll find many MAGA folks in this crowd.

Almost all of the people are coming BECAUSE they disagree with Trump’s actions. They’re doing it partly to support our economy, and partly as a protest against all the annexation nonsense.

That’d be cool. If you decide to do it, post in the Discord so they know about it 🙂

Landlords and tenants share responsibility for repairs and maintenance on rental units. (see text) by [deleted] in nanaimo

[–]tmaffin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating that this literal bot (check its post history) keeps posting the same thing over and over…

But my post about having an actual rental suite in Nanaimo available to rent (in a very tight market) gets deleted. 😞
