      And no malice here, but yes. We all need to practice checking shit before we pass it on.

      I know I’ve been guilty and had to go back and correct myself. Most recently in that AWS was taken out by literally a dude with an axe. (It was not. It was DNS. It’s always DNS.)

        I’ve been seeing a ton more misinformation in memes on Lemmy the past month or so. It’ll never happen but I wish the mods would require sources on those posts.

        It’s especially frustrating because it’s not like we need to invent things to make the right look bad. We can just point to the things that are actually true…things that are way worse than destroying quote on a brick.

        4 hours later with at least one report and this post is still up, still getting upvoted. How many people have seen this and believe it’s true? How many have shared it? Meme culture is a cancer

        Not sure if I was misinformed by a meme but I only learned that in 2016 when a Canadian redditor clarified and, of course, apologized for not having done it

    GOP’s current federal government is against the people, against the people & against the people

    (even though the plaque is actually in the FDR memorial)

    I don’t want to sound too “radical,” but I’m starting to suspect he may be acting as if he hates America, because he hates America.
