In fairness… People who turn to twitter for news aren’t the type of people that generally like to be informed by reality.

Maybe it's not a good idea to use a media platform run by a megalomaniac moron as a primary source of news and information.
It's a great timeline .... 99% of the planet relies on megalomaniac morons, mega corporations, billionaires and for profit media corporations for all their information.
And we wonder why there is so much misinformation, disinformation, non information and covered up information everywhere.
It's definitely the information age .... expect no one said it would actually keep us informed or have any benefit to humanity.
People who have turned to X for breaking news
Maybe they shouldn't
Stay away from that echo chamber

Reposting my question from the other post:
Can lemmy become the place on the internet to discover the best accounts on X and thus become popular?
If you're getting your information from facebook, twitter or fox news (to name a few top offenders) you're in for a bad time.
More like: we're all in for a bad time.
Unfortunately, their inability to discern fantasy from reality does not only affect them.
Hard enough to get unbiased reporting at the best of times.
Every media outlet picked sides on this a long time ago.
