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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

Why are ANY Democrats on Xitter?!

DNC, get your idiot consultants gone already.

Bit of a catch-22 when you're a public official. It would make sense for them to just use cross-posting client to cover their bases, but I doubt they know that.

but I doubt they know that.

That’s exactly the point. They’re following a playbook from the 90s at best.

Xitter wasn't around in the 90's, was it?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

yea tell them to go on bluesky.

Why wouldn't they be? It's kinda stupid to just let your enemy run a massive platform without having a presence there.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

it gives legitimacy and content to nazis, and right wingers.

  1. because it’s supporting it
  2. because it’s a fascist cesspool
  3. ‘the enemy’ runs all social media except Mastodon (for tweet-like things)
  4. being on Xitter gives Xitter authority and power over their words, not to mention personal data.
