I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.
The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.
I’ll be over on !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works.
I have only ever made crow enemies. you do not want crow enemies.
also, if you see a dead or dying crow in your driveway, don’t move it. don’t touch it. even if it’s blocking your car (idk, buy a new car instead?) maybe call animal control but by all means don’t present yourself near the dead crow - the crows will assume you killed it and will make your life hell. i was divebombed multiple times for many blocks from my house. i only gingerly moved the bird a few feet over to the grass so my wife could move the car and get to work. but crows remember. boy do they remember.
this only stopped when i moved to another city
They ALSO hold courts and occasionally kill other crows as a group. It’s possible your interference in their capital punishment ritual is considered a high crime.
Warning: I researched this and can’t find evidence that it’s true, but crow funerals are actually a thing that happens, so my advice stands: do not interfere with crow rituals involving dead crows!
I first heard about this in a Gaiman story called ‘A Parliament of Rooks’.
Crows have been shown to hold grudges for years, even if they don’t see the thing they hate for years.
You can never go back to your old house haha
As I understand it, they also communicate with other crows too, so there’s a slim chance I will be found in this city as well. Yay.
Your own personal CORVID-19

Crows are in the Genus (?) Corvidae in case you didn’t know.
Imagine showing your kid the house you used to live in 10 years ago and they remember and dive bomb you.
It has definitely happened to people before!
