Twitter Blue accounts fuel Ukraine War misinformation
  • I feel almost helpless against it sometimes.

    It's a well known issue on plenty of popular sites (Facebook/Twitter/reddit/etc.). I'm sure federated sites like Lemmy, Mastodon, and others are just as susceptible to it as well.

    I've commented on posts in the past to try and combat it and occasionally still do. But there's a real limit to the amount of stress that comes with trying to convince someone that they've been lied to and could be misleading others by repeating what they heard. Especially with the whole "fake news" crap that has been surging I'm the last handful of years. Any proper data used to support truth is just dismissed as fake news.

  • This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads
  • I don't think I'm missing any point. Have you used it? They're owned by the same company. Threads is separate but part of Instagram. Other than the user name being reserved on Threads in case the Instagram user wants to sign up, there isn't an account created. If you try to search the name of any of those accounts in Threads it doesn't come up at all. (Edit: mistyped a word)

  • This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads
  • None of the data other than the user name is shown in Threads until the user from Instagram activates their account. I've tried to look up a number of the people from Instagram on Threads and if they haven't signed up, then the search results are zero.

  • This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads
  • Why does everything have to be a conspiracy with some people? Threads literally and directly explains that it uses your Instagram account. They're the same account. Nothing crazy. No magic. No oogie boogie. Just the same account.

  • Hype for AC6?

    I only ever recall briefly playing Armored Core when I was younger. It being rather difficult, I'm sure I was sort of put off by it. I've since played through all the Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Elden Ring by Fromsoft and have found a passion in enjoying their games. Now that AC6 is coming I just went back and downloaded the original Armored Core for PS1 on my PSVita. Loving the challenge.

    Anyone else excited?
