Is there a place to verify these posts are real without actually touching Twitter (currently known as Elon Musk's X)? I see there's blue checkmarks on them but I have a feeling a really cleaver hacker could fake those in an image.

Here’s my Nitter search with some filters:

The iPhone let me copy that text out of the image (fastest way was to screenshot and then hold my finger on the text in the screenshot preview). I then tapped “look up” and DuckDuckGo found articles about the exchange. But for less popular Tweets, Nitter should work.

I was curious so I went to the top stories on their site. I don't see it.

Why/how is it a "tabliod shitrag"?

Ok, so the tweet is a hoax everyone.

You don't need to be a hacker to edit an image...

[–] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 11 months ago

Or just use inspect element on a Twitter post and change it.

I think that was the joke

Seconding nitter. You can take any twitter link and just replace the front with nitter.net

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago

You can just edit with inspect element pretty easily. I imagine there are fake twitter generators out there too

This specific one sounds familiar, I think I saw it some time ago
