I don't get why some are so into those. More drama? Making facts look like lies, too.

Basically the YouTube suggested video bar then.

I totally get what you’re saying but maybe sometimes people take a screenshot because this app won’t let you post videos or at least I haven’t figured out how to so I have to post a screenshot🤷🏽‍♀️Im just saying it may not always be for a malicious intent. Some people are not tech savvy😂 we still resist

Nothing bothers me more than when people post a screenshot with no link to verify the information. I don't care what social media platform it is, with so much misinformation out there it gets so exhausting having to verify what people are posting who are too lazy to provide a link to their source.

Thank you.

You forgot the outrage take to a media outlet + "when are you going to cover..." a topic that a quick Google shows they've done several documentaries on.

hotfountainpen.bsky.social•24 days ago

That last one irks me so much! Like clearly someone is talking about it

lapsedcentrist.bsky.social•24 days ago

Is this a subtweet about those Krassenstern idiots or whatever their names are? I hate that kind of blue grifter. Instablocked.

estarianne.bsky.social•24 days ago

There are so many just like them.

thepeskyfly.bsky.social•24 days ago

I feel like it’s 75% of the content on this platform. So glad other people are starting to complain about it.

estarianne.bsky.social•24 days ago

I subscribe to a resistance grifter blocklist so I don't see most of it lol

thepeskyfly.bsky.social•24 days ago

I should do that. I think I caught a bad case of the RGs from starter packs.

estarianne.bsky.social•24 days ago

oh yeah just unfollow all that

thepeskyfly.bsky.social•24 days ago

An outrage take here, a little crypto promotion there…

riverenodian.bsky.social•24 days ago

They were literally the first I thought of

primarylupine.bsky.social•24 days ago

They were my first thought upon seeing this.

Science degrees teach us a lot of the nuances of facts and sources that most people end up arguing cuz this society is built on free agency in the face of anything, including facts and information.

Some fun will have to be dialed back to align with science and not make everyone hypocrites.

Of course post below this on my timeline fits description

nadiapro.bsky.social•24 days ago

True. But it’s also straight up disinformation. Enough of that and you get … what we have today :(

This is particularly bad on Facebook. Before FBs turn around on fact checking it was nigh impossible to get action against them via a report. Of course now it is wholly impossible.

It's all About the clicks. Whether it is changing channels on the tv media or social - it is all about viewership. Watch out which Ship you take for truth telling!
