Première fake news qui circule où je suis concerné.

Sujet tellement classique : l’arrivée d’un centre de réfugiés sur la commune.
Un faux article du journal local qui circule en me faisant tenir des propos que je n’ai pas tenus.

Je démens dans la presse, car « mes » propos sont faux (je n’aborde pas le fond du sujet).

Évidemment, la fachosphère se réveille en commentaire (en ayant vu que « rinxent / migrants » dans le titre et donc sans avoir lu l’article sinon c’est pas marrant) en disant qu’il faudrait quand même s’occuper des français d’abord hein.

Fatigue.

"I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, just someone who spent 20 years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening. It's the internet I was promised in 1996."

Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse

I have never been an "online community first" person. The internet is how I stay in touch with people I met in real life. I'm not a "tweet comments at celebrities" guy. I was never funny enough to be the funniest person on Twitter. So when Twitter was accidentally purchased
