Tour company OceanGate Expeditions said it believes the five passengers on board the missing Titanic-bound submersible have died. Follow here for live updates.
I’ve got no love for billionaires, and obviously this story overshadowing the migrant boat sinking in Greece is infuriating, but I’m really not a fan of the glee so many people on social media are expressing at the deaths of these five people.
Also, on another note, I seriously cannot get over the fact that the late CEO of the company, Stockton Rush, has the absolute perfect team name for a minor league football team from central California.
I agree, a lot of people in threads in the fediverse are taking way too much pleasure in 5 people dying. I get not being a fan of billionaires - no one should be - but not everyone aboard was a billionaire, and even if they were it’s just so incredibly callous to take joy in people dying in an accident. Have a base level of empathy for crying out loud.
Part of the reason I loved moving to Lemmy from reddit was getting away from reddit’s toxicity, I hope we don’t bring it with us.
That’s just one from this thread. In other news threads the top two comments were people saying “good riddance” or something similar. I’d screenshot those for you as well but I now can’t find the threads in my feed because the feed updated and they got pushed down to god knows where.

This is indeed an annoying reddit / internet thing. It’s nothing but shit stirring.
You were the kid who just casually glanced around when asked to look for something, weren’t you?
