Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

This story became much less interesting after I realized they were worried about tweets about Taylor Swift, not tweets made by Taylor Swift.
As upset as some people get when posters read a headline then go straight to the comments... this shit is why that happens. Headline caught my interest, but now I gotta hit the comments to assess whether the headline has some degree of journalistic integrity, or if it's just clickbait bullshit... and by the time that assessment is done, it can be hard not to be already invested in and engaging with the comments xD
I just go right to the comments. Often they point out the flaws much quicker than me reading bot generated articles. It's not flawless but works 99% of the time.
Preach, brosisperson. That's where many of us were at least once.
I like that. I'm fond of sib(-ling) personally, but that one is funny too

Really do we not expect governments to be reading publicly available information that's put out on social media? They would have to be inept to pass that up.
