A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Well, if you're going to be misled by bullshit, ending up near the Brooklyn Bridge—where nothing at all happened—isn't so bad.

Obviously, these gullible fools have learned their lesson and won't be so easily duped in the future.

Hahaha yeah right.
