  You know what does show headlines? Mastodon.

    The real headline is why hasn’t Mastodon renamed itself to just M yet.

      John Mastodon would never allow that.

  Anyone still using that spewhole is either a nazi, an embarrassed nazi, or forced to use nazi propaganda tools by their workplace.

  Facebook is the CBS of social media, they’ll be around until their userbase literally dies. “X” (snort, chuckle), uh, is not.

  So instead of being fooled by fake and misleading headlines written by journalists, you can get fooled by fake and misleading headlines written by Twitter users? If you insist on not reading the article, I’m not sure one of those is worse than the other.

    Being fooled by Twitter users is worse as they can link to reputable sources (that usually wouldn’t post clickbait/bad headings). There’s also little incentive for twitter users to not post misleading headlines, while (some) journalists/news sites are trying to build a reputation of reputability. Yes, it would be solved by clicking the article but you shouldn’t have to click every article to make sure the poster isn’t lying about the content.

  The Mastodon shall stomp the Muskrat…

  Aaaaand Musk had them banned.

  Okay probably not, but you never know with that petty sociopath. Regardless I ditched Twitter the day Musky took over. It’s not like I used it much anyway, and I ditched FB during the aftermath of T***p’s election before he even took office. I don’t miss either one.

  I aint native english and I cant understand a word from title. Is this normal?

    Not sure what part you don’t understand, but I’ll try and help: Snopes (a fact checking website) shows that the way links are displayed nowadays (the new link presentation or new way links are presented) on X (formerly Twitter) lacks any sense -> snopes shows the folly of it.

      Thanks! My previous interpretation: Snopes Shows™ - company related to film industry Folly™ - name of another company, surprisingly there is no comma or “and” between them X’s - unknown high number or Twitter New Link Presentation™ - Proprietary feature made by big tech company I have never heard about

      So it looks like Clickbaity Capitalisation Of Every Word fooled me. IMO title should look like: “Snopes shows the folly of new link presentation on X”

  What is it then?

    You’re supposed to be able to be smart enough to get it from the pic if you know how to read for context.
