@Koropokkur@alex Basically impossible, for journalists you have to show actual malice - in other words, they absolutely knew they were wrong and published anyways to screw with you. Journalists just use the "I'm retarded" defense and win 99.9% of the time.
@caekislove@spitfire@alex It's worse than that, more like: > Do no research > Print false information > Ignore rebuttal correcting all your factual errors > Profit! > Get cited by Wikipedia as a "reliable source": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_102#The_Daily_Dot > Some retard updates the Wikipedia page with the false info > The next lazy journalist copy-pastes from Wikipedia > Oroboros of bullshit continues
To assume byuu is dead you have to assume an institution as autistic about rules and procedures as the Japanese government just straight up failed to inform the US Embassy about the death of one of its citizens within their jurisdiction.
The perpetual media hitjob on KF comes to mind. Whatever you think about the site and its userbase, it's absurd how many falsehoods keep getting repeated because of how the media launders the "truth".
There's zero reason to believe that homo byuu is dead and solid reasons to believe he's alive. Yet the "reliability" of the reports of his death persists.
@alex In a previous article she claimed that Poast was both an independent social media site, and the architecture that this part of the fediverse was based on, likely because Gleasonator, Truth Social, and Poast use the exact same UI skin just with different colors. she probably thinks that Mastodon is a different network entirely. She's just retarded and did zero actual research into the fediverse's infrastructure, probably because she's too stupid and alcohol addicted to understand a tenth of it.
