Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

social media users — should "become the new kind of cultural elites."

I haven’t been on Facebook or other Meta-owned properties for a few years, but if I remember correctly social media users definitely shouldn’t be considered cultural elites.

Okay but consider that some people have a little blue star that says "verified" next to their names. Shouldn't that mean they're better than us?

Doesn’t that just make them a shill?
