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 recreate shit

The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be

but worse? Repost to !diwhy@lemmy.world?

[X] is not a ‘public square’ – it now resembles a deepfake pornography website, and a one-way broadcast system for Musk himself

And why are they trying to make the competition sound better?
