I just replied in another thread, but you know, this is another example of why I dislike these, and will continue to push you to label your lies. Whenever anyone calls you on this, your immediate strawman is "oh, you must be shilling for the corporations".

Not only is that just the laziest straw man, but it's also actively damaging to the actual anti-corporate, antifascist cause which you so ineffectually claim to espouse. Your stories are barely different from the actual shit these corporations do, and muddying the waters with a bunch of lies only serves to make people disbelieve when the corporations are actually pulling something.

Since you actually asked, rather than just reposting that picture, here's my issue:

I could potentially get behind the idea of an onion-esque satire of the current state of our world. However, everyone on here knows that the onion is satire. Whenever anyone calls your works into question, your response is not to clarify that it is satire, but to troll them. On another post, someone said "could I get a source for this" , and you just responded with a link to the same post. You have made up many different things on this new community, and while some of them are pretty clearly fake (like this one), others are so nearly plausible, or require actual technical knowledge to understand why they are implausible, that people are seriously engaging with these.

Basically, you're too good at your job, and in a world where satirists are becoming more reliable journalists than the actual journalists, creating a one-man-band to troll people with shitposts that are nowhere labeled as such is, I believe, damaging to the community of Lemmy. We have a hard enough time trying to keep the hankies from filling the entire space with authoritarian propaganda. We don't need a load of posts further undermining credibility.

This is fake, and this account has created this community of literally-fake news. The way this is being posted without context makes this definitionally misinformation at best, and disinformation at worst. Check this community's sidebar.

To the OP: you need to put this somewhere in your posts, and not just the sidebar of your community. Many people come here from a feed. So, here I am, doing it for you, since you can't be bothered

I can't find this article.

Genuinely surprised the kids want executed on the spot, given the current regime in America. If anything, it probably tells you the kid is white.

You could replace the name with virtually any even vaguely moderate-or-larger-sized company, and your rant would still be just as valid. Calling out Walmart specifically as if they were significantly worse than any other is just your personal bias showing itself.

BTW, I'm blocking this community so I don't fall for it again. I wouldn't be doing so had it been appropriately named because I certainly could see it being funny, but I can't rely on remembering that this is poorly named.

federal agencies have been notified.

This phrase has a different meaning for me than it used to.

nice to see at least some restraint from everyone involved

While I get where you are coming from... And?? What if it is a money grab? The guy did everything legally, so no one should care about the reasons behind. If he did it for the money, it was simply an investment like any other.

"Yes, I found a loophole and exploited it to try to get big money from a multi-billion corporation" should be a perfectly valid response.

A mini CD works in a regular CD or DVD drive. Usually there'll be a special recess to k line them up with the centre of the disc tray, but you don't really even need that.

The format itself is weird. CD drives are already getting scarce, what about drives for these? They might as well be zip drives.

This was actually an unfortunate time travel accident, the truck was from the future, carrying a cargo of Microsoft Windows 2095.

(The OS is actually just a giant pulsating copilot logo that charges you by the minute to look at it while your brain slowly liquifies)

just searched it the news site it is from is complete BS going on about dogs giving birth to things that aren't puppies and other fake stuff.

You could always buy the album "Coaster" from NOFX. Even they knew it was a crappy album but was still functional in other ways.

Thanks for calling this out, because as far as I'm concerned this IS misinformation. It's one thing if you come to the community for a laugh, but something else entirely when it shows up on the front page.

Well I'll be damned

Of couse. Yeah; almost every post in the comm. has a ton of comments of people clearly thinking it's a real article and the mod. just comments without ever making clear it's fake. Feels a throw away from just misinfo.
