I'm in the United States. Way back in the day, I worked as a bill collector. A customer made a similar comment to me while my supervisor was recording the call, just coincidentally for quality. They reported him to the police and I was later asked to testify at his trial. He was sentenced to six months in jail for making terroristic threats.
For context, this was shortly after 9/11 so people were on high alert. I doubt anyone at Lemmy is going to report you, we're just concerned that sort of behavior is going to cause an amount of trouble that later cost/benefit analyses would lead you to regret.
