At least then the lies have reason. It's fucked up reason, but it's reason.

April fools day is FUCKING LYING FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE TO FUCK WITH PEOPLE AND LIE FOR THE SAKE OF IT.

And notebly shit like this actually can cause real problems. Iv seen April fools jokes cause thousands in lost dollars because of stock swings due to this bull shit for example

People ACTUALLY get hurt over this crap too. It's REALLY fucking annoying.

Have people always had his opinion? I swear I've never seen pushback for April Fools joke articles in the past. Hell, they were anticipated because of fun ones like Blizzard.

Anything you can think of, there's probably a whole group of people who hate it.

You probably stay away from people like that in your real life, but through the magic of the Internet they get to sit in your living room and yell at you to stop having fun.

Seems to be more prevalent here on the fediverse specifically

Just the "kicked off of every other platform" crybabies that have settled on Lemmy doing what they do

People get hurt on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas too.

If you find yourself falling for these kinds of jokes then you may need to reconsider how you evaluate news.
