They are getting a huge propaganda push on every advertisment avenue. TV, Hulu,YouTube,TikTok. If you can pay for reach, you’re getting Israeli propaganda aimed towards Americans

I agree, but it takes less than 10 min and is more impactful than lemmy posts

To be a bit more precise, Signal is against federation from two angles:

• Innovation: Signal values absolute control over the protocol so that they can more rapidly implement UX experiences scene in other modern messaging apps. It also eliminates malicious or outdated servers changing the UX between users. Ultimately folks won’t blame the servers, they’ll blame the app, and stop using it.

1. Not linking a source

Very common for reports or scientific articles, where a sharable link is not readily available. Take it up with the city council who received the report being slow. The claims are sourced, and that source is credible, that’s what matters.

1. Link to Twitter

1. Opinions

Maybe you haven’t read a news article before, but providing the opinions of both sides of an issue is common practice, so that the reader has context and can consider their own position
