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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

The biggest sign that Iran has been feeling pressure, is that Iranian trolls are even on Lemmy pretending to be Americans...
Mainstream social media has to be swamped with them by now. The only reason they stand out here is when they get mad and reply in their own words instead of using AI to translate.
It was a huge shock the first couple times till I realized why the tone would switch drastically after 2-3 replies. I think they're just using free AI accounts and get too impatient to wait for more free uses if they have to reply in consecutive short time frames.
Why would we be bots?
