  • Alt for obvious reasons

    Honestly really annoys me when people feel the need to hide their views like this. This isn’t even something you’d get banned for so idk why you would.

    some of you get really upset when you take a fake news post for face value

    This is a thing for autistic people though, no? Taking things at face value?

    now people’s automatic assumption is to box us all in together like we all have a problem

    That’s their fucking problem. If people on this site of all places don’t realize you can’t lump a minority together like that idk what you want from any of us.

    the removal of fake news and fake news related content when they’re legitimately posted to the shitposting comms they were explicitly made for.

    Chapotraphouse? Because there’s definitely a comm made explicitly for fake news and fake news posts and its not that one. But you are being vague so I can only assume you are talking about the onion link there.

    I don’t want to be part of this infantilizing culture where your hand has to be held at all times

    No one was forcing you to be? You’re welcome to your own views.

    We already have the block function so you can stop seeing the posts you dislike from certain communities and this should be enough to stop seeing the stuff you don’t want to see.

    Again, you are being vague so I don’t actually know what you are talking about. If it was the chapotraphouse post, that comm is full of other content. I’m sure everyone upset about fake news posting would be fine if it was posted in the fake news comm, which they can block. If they’re complaining about the fake news comm existing at all yea that’s a bit silly imo.

    there are solutions to this that I have already mentioned in this post

    My solution would be to have onion/satire headlines tagged as such, with [satire] or similar. What’s wrong with that? What actual harm does it do to make it clear to the reader that what they are reading is a joke and not to be taken as a literal news story when this website is full of actual news?
