We’re trying to build communities. A good way to do it is to have bots post content, so there’s stuff to see on our feeds.

There's always ups and downs with everything. By using bots you might get subscribers, but people like me who don't agree with being force fed robot spam will actively avoid such subs.

In fact I find it so disagreeable I refuse to donate resources so people can host spam on my instance instead of actually posting content themselves.

I would not like to be part of a community that finds auto-generated content to be of an acceptable quality.

Don't be too hard on yourself, if you recognized you got fooled (like so many others) you're already better prepared to not get fooled by something similar again.

questions and answers are time-constrained, this approach makes sense.

That's a good point I didn't consider. On second thought it would even seem reasonable for the hearing to add the interview as some sort of case document. I have changed my view on this, thank you.

... Are you the "some" in "Some people claim..."?

I think weasel words can make or change the meaning of statements. While it may be explicitly stated in the NewsNation interview, he seems curiously careful to not repeat the same claims while under oath but rather refer to third party publications.

We'll probably find out sooner or later, but I'm somewhat impatient when the truth is delayed by roughly 70 years. 🫠

Testing if my comment will federate.

Well that's pretty explicit and leaves little doubt. I wonder why he refered to the article but wouldn't restate some of the things during the hearing.

I think that would be a good way to gauge public interest, but I'd be more interested in how many articles are published next week and next month. A surprising amount of news outlets have published this story, but it's hard to ignore. Will they go back to ignoring the phenomena next week?

Perhaps a weekly megathread where people can share mainstream news articles and segments?

Would you consider the leaked panama- and paradise papers as examples of a giant, openly known but seldomly proven conspiracy?

Is it what Grusch said though? After reviewing the video his reply was that "Biologics came with some of the recoveries" when questioned about having the bodies of pilots. I don't think that neccesarily has to mean they've recovered the bodies of alien pilots. Or even pilots

What indication do we have that it wasn't drones picking up animals? I think there can be many possible scenarioes based on the statements and not all of them would mean we've recovered any EBE's.

I've heard he's a business associate of John Mastodon.
