Some of our fellow citizens seem to voluntarily do the work of spreading fake news.

    Out of 650,000

    just 2,107 accounts that are responsible for 80 percent of the tweets linking to sources of misinformation.

    What the fuck?

      Some people have way too much time and way too disturbing world views to be allowed on the Internet.

            .social is mastodon.

              Midwest.social is Lemmy. I’m even using Jerboa.

              I think. Quite honestly, I don’t pay much attention, if it works it works.

                Oh. You’re right. Usually accounts ending with .social are hosted on mastodon, guess not in this particular case.
