Sorry, I didn’t think people would think fake news could appear in here. That wasn’t something I was considering.
There’s a bunch of tankies that constantly post Sputnik and RT and so on in various communities, and those places are very often running stories that I’d pidgeonhole as “fake news”. Always a good idea to cite and link your sources, as a general rule.
Will do that from now on. Do those people get banned and taken care of if they’re found to be posting bullshit?
No, because they do it on .ml, which is run by tankies
Can’t the mods of lemmy.world ban them from posting here though?
Memes too apparently.
People should always question their sources just as a general rule.
it can, and frequently does
