Getting down to brass tax:

The mods have been discussing this for about a month and to say it has been difficult is an understatement, I digress.

We are leaving the vote up to the community now and you have two options:

Option one: Vote to shut down the fake news community (comment πŸ‘)

Option two: Vote to keep fake news but have Melina stand down so they can no longer post (comment ✌️)

Option three: Keep things as is (comment😈)

We will compile all votes by the end of the week, depending on how close the margins are we will close the poll earlier if need be.

Thanks for being part of this community.

Wait is this fake news? I can't tellooooooooooooooh

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Whats funny is that all the people that would vote to shut this place down have blocked it waaaay back, so the handful of people who haven't blocked this comm will vote to keep it alive.

rigged vote 😈

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

😈 I vote that everyone who thinks they can do better fake news to prove it by sending me $10 a day, and only after a month or 2 will I decide if they are good enough

You say there are two options and then list three options so that means one of the options is a fake and/or secret option like the cup at the End of The Last Crusade where the guy drinks from the wrong cup and then ages suuuper fast and dies cos he chose the Burger King fancy pants cup not the humble wood workers cup (which looked like it was made out of wood and not gold because woodworkers don't traditionally work with gold unless they were also trained on it) but that also raises the question of how that cup lasted so long or does the power of eternal youth also work on cups. Very clever. I'm voting for πŸ‘Ώ

😈 to promote media literacy

😈 , us not knowing if this is a bit is part of the fakenews fun here

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

😈 Everybody that would pick the other two already blocked this place. Post it somewhere else if you actually want other input.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

genuinely feel like a lot of the β€œdefenses” of Melina have been way more hostile and smug and troll-y than Melina themselves (sry idk how to say like faeselves correctly or if that’s correct…). Like a lot of the fake news posts are genuinely funny but when someone complains about them, instead of just like listening to them or even just telling them they’re wrong, there’s this inclination to go all berdly-smug β€œWell someone just has a skill issue.” on their ass when just telling them it’s not everyone’s β€œthing” would be a lot nicer and less mean.

So I vote for option 4: Keep fake news the way it is and make a public announcement saying everyone who did what I just said is wrong and mean and poopy

What about option 4: repurposing the comm into a base for disinformation to spread within right wing and liberal circles? They're constantly doing it to us, surely we can't just sit around taking it.
