Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It’s not just Johnny Depp. I’ve had family get hit by celebrity impersonation scams. I still have no idea why they work on people. Like how many times do you need to have money stolen before you realize Scarlett Johansen isn’t the one asking you to buy google play gift cards?

They have mush brain and are desperately lonely

I have a family friend dating Jennifer Aniston apparently. And a friend of a friend is "secretly" dating Jason Momoa. All on the internet of course.

It's insane.

Soon the AI bots will make this trend indistinguishable from people who are fully cognizant of what they’re doing and don’t care that it’s not a real person.

Ross Perot gave her negative 200 bucks? Shit, how do I donate negative dollars?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like it was a correction of some sort. Probably over donated or something.
