Yes we all saw it. Do people really need to get an ELI5?
I'm just curious tbh if there were people that didn't realize all of this?
You're asking if there are others on Lemmy without your perception and understanding of the world?
I think this might be a "sit down" talk...
I've been waiting all day to finally learn something from people that get their news from pictures of Twitter posts!
Here's a response assuming you're question was in good faith. I follow lots of news stories from multiple sources and I count lemmy as one of those sources. This was my first time hearing this. This is part of my process to stay informed. If OP had not posted this, I may not have known. Hope this helps!
Thanks. I'm just flabbergasted by the herd mentality and the fact that people get their news like this.
Where specifically should we be getting news from?
