Not The Onion

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!

"Don't trust Google! It shows you the bad stuff! Only trust Truth Social for your information!"

Well, your first two sentences are actually valid when you divorce them from the current context and remarry it with the reality of the bad stuff being ads, paid misinformation, and general enshittification 🤷

Well it shows bad stuff about Trump, so clearly it's not all misinformation.

That much is true, of course. Everywhere including his own ramblings do that, though, so that's not really characteristic of Google specifically 🤷
