Why do people keep referring to X as Twitter?

Oh look, another blanket statement that appeals to emotion without substance.

Articulate specifics on pressing issues or shut the actual fuck up. Anyone calling for silencing discussion is a coward with a weak, insecure worldview.

Regardless of who she is and who you think she is, the fact is she is correct in her assessment and there is a mountain of evidence to substantiate her claim, from her own country and the world over.

And this isn’t exactly rocket science. Arguing that disinformation doesn’t present a significant threat to our way of life is like arguing the world isn’t round. There isn’t really any debate on this in the scientific/expert community.

Settle down, this seems like rage bait. I’m going to give you a day to cool off.

She’s trying to drum up support for diminishing the first amendment. Gotta come in with vague, subjective reasoning for that.

AOCia carrying water for the intelligence sector, as usual.

Good fucking luck with that lol. Being a whiny sanctimonius tyrant won’t convince anyone but the most loyal rage bait addicts.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen her say anything poignant or pick apart any specific issue - she’s always just throwing around empty platitudes that she knows a certain audience likes to hear.

Care to tell me who’s running the country now? Perhaps a bunch of unelected people? Just maybe?

Yep. Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same fascist coin. We need to stop them both.

Rule 6: Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it’s a major figure or a politician.

Thank you for pointing that out and then providing the link. People don’t always read the sidebar. This also brings attention to it.

It chapps my ass that most clients obscure the rules and so it’s really easy to forget to review them, especially if it’s a community you rarely post to.

Thankfully, I haven’t run into any reddit style mods on Lemmy… Yet.

Obv, this is a skill issue, but it’s clear enough that it’s not just me. I feel like there’s a better way. Perhaps worthy of a feature request to the dev of my client (jebora).

AOC isn’t exactly wrong. We’ve had this occur in my country just a few months ago.

There was a mass stabbing in England where three children were killed. False claims that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker spread online and led to white supremacist riots across the country. The suspect (later named because the court lifted an anonymity order) was later revealed to actually be a British born teenager with Rwandan parents. He wasn’t even a Muslim.

Oddly enough, the person who first posted the misinformation was traced to be from Pakistan.
