False and misleading posts about the Ukraine conflict continue to go viral on major social media platforms, as Russia’s invasion of the country extends beyond 500 days.
That blue checkmark is literally an indication of something that should be ignored.

Thinking official organizations, companies, newspapers, celebrities and other well known people being as mad on one side of the spectrum, as what we currently have, is not a centrist view.

An interesting variation on the obligatory “automated poop emoji” disclaimer
Weird. I thought I had the article posted. Thanks for doing that.
No worries. It confused me at first, thought I was just struggling to see a link. But I’d read it a few minutes before anyway and thought it was a good article and worthy of a share.
Now, this is odd. Perhaps it’s a bug in Lemmy? I’m reading this post on kbin (here’s the link to it on kbin.social, you can look without an account) and @Some_Emo_Chick’s original post has the link just fine, it’s the header link as you’d expect. If I go over to lemmy.world and view the same post, the header link instead points to a webp thumbnail from the article, hosted on lemmy.world itself. This seems to mean that the correct link was posted, since it’s what we got on kbin, but Lemmy fumbled somewhere and replaced it with the thumbnail.

It’s depressing seeing the shit that people will believe. I’ve immersed myself in learning about conspiratorial thinking and still never stop being surprised at the dumb shit people believe. I mean, stuff that just defies imagination (baby factories being the example in this article).
I think religion is the primary common thread. People who believe fantastical stories start somewhere and I think it’s the christian bible.
Oh look, the town square can be bought. Some are more equal than others.
