    Hiding read posts means they’re now lost (when you’re logged in) if you didn’t save the link somewhere. Can’t find it after a day and now you have to check it on incognito.

    But if you don’t hide posts you’ve already read, you end up with the same posts on your feed.

    it’s a very small nitpick though. having new posts load every time I visit lets me see a lot of new content, I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

    I hope some app devs can put up a section for “read posts” locally so instances aren’t overwhelmed.





  • These articles are very easy to write and you can see how emotional people get. You don’t need proof and it always works.

    Everytime there’s an article about what “China/Russia/India/North Korea/or Whatever Says”, social media goes:

    haha, so fake!

    fake news

    imagine believing this

    propaganda bs

    where’s the proof?

    we only believe in hard facts

    no credibility

    chinese/russian bots brigading lmao

    astroturfing

    And then whenever there is “US Says”

    so true

    I know someone who knows someone who was doing this

    I had a gut feeling about this

    The boogeyman is real

    They’re stealing our tech

    They’re coming for us

    We have to renounce them

    They’re destroying our economy

    Enemy #1

    They’re ruining our western values

    US is numba 1

    NO FUCKING PROOF REQUIRED!! Anyone questions?

    why would they release the evidence, it’s classified

    I mean fuck all authoritarian regimes, but it’s funny to see how social media (especially in US) reacts to these articles and riles them up. Also great for election season.

    Standard hypocrisy from propaganda rotted brains at work
