An unprecedented nearly 5,000 migrants have died at sea in the first five months of 2024 trying to reach the Spanish Canary Islands, according to a report released by migration rights group Walking Borders on Wednesday.

Between Jan. 1 and May 31, 4,808 people died on the Atlantic voyage to the Canaries after departing from Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and Gambia, making it the deadliest route between Africa and Spain, with 95% of migrant deaths, according to the group.

Arrivals to the archipelago in that period soared five times to over 16,500 from a year ago, Interior Ministry data showed.

Answer my repeated questions for sources (like you asked of me) or this discussion is over.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

You are free to end this discussion whenever you like, but your attempt to goad me into doing something like deleting all of your comments is not going to work.

Again, if you feel that I am doing such things as a moderator, by all means contact the lemmy.world admin about it because it would be absolutely unacceptable for a moderator to behave that way.

I will be very surprised if you actually put your money where your mouth is and don't reply again.

Haha all I want is sources. I know you're entire life is this website so I know you will go on forever. I don't expect anything else.

Or for you to show some honour and growth and actually admit you are wrong, have no claims and I think I'm owed an apology for how you have treated me.

Sources or go bother someone else.

And all I want is evidence that as a moderator that I would delete all of your comments for disagreeing with you.

See... the problem here is you claim you just want sources but then you tell a lie like that. So what's the point in providing you with any sources when I already know you lie about me?

If I did provide you with a source, you'd lie and say I didn't.

Bored now.

You were close to deleting my comments, you gave me a last warning, yet you did not provide any sources yourself. That's not a source as mentioned because it isn't about illegal crossing, it's intentionally misleading. So provide a source. You know if this was the other way around and you provided the sources I did and I just gave you a misleading source my comments would be deleted.

You know things I say to be right you're just hoping I conceded my position. You thrown your weight around and keep talking about your powerful position as a mod to intimidate me.

All I asked was for sources and the conversation has degraded to this.

This will be my last comment because why would I talk to you? You care more about winning and being a mod than you do about discussing or learning. I hope you learn to improve yourself. Good day.

I gave you a warning that I would delete your comments for misinformation. You supported them so I did not delete them. I said as much at the time, so I'm not why you're engaging in this fantasy.

We will see if your 'this will be my last comment' claim will be true.
