Post

Please stop sharing alarmist posts that don’t link to the sources of what they’re posting. It’s just going to make everyone mad and exhaust us all so that we don’t fight back.

It’s going to be a long few years (decades) if there’s a viral post every few days of some influencer exaggerating a news article and riling everyone up about something that might not actually be happening.

Build up a RSS feed of news sites you like and read that regularly. Look for the source of any thing posted as “news” without a link attached. Check to see if a screenshot is real. Learn to detect AI-generated content. Read past the headlines. This is all critical media literacy

I use a combo of Feedly and Reeder. And then if I want to save something to read later, I use Pocket. I use Buffer occasionally to post links to news articles I want to share. I mainly do this because otherwise I hyper focus and spam a bunch of links onto people’s TLs 😂
