The German equivalent of The Onion, Der Postillon, made a joke article about Mastodon and I am baffled at how many people seem to think it is real ?♂️

  @Gargron Let me guess: "Elon Musk buys Mastodon"?

  @Gargron Yeah, sure. Why should I trust someone who manages a Muskodon server?
  For everyone else: We will see us on Zöglfrexer!

  @Gargron en français ça donne :
  Après le rachat spectaculaire de Twitter, voici le prochain coup de théâtre : le milliardaire américain Elon Musk acquiert également le concurrent de Twitter, Mastodon. Le service de microblogging devrait changer de propriétaire pour 1,3 million de dollars.

  Suite !!
  Apparemment, le fondateur de Mastodon, Eugen Rochko, n'a pas pu résister longtemps aux offres du patron de Tesla - avec cette vente, il deviendra millionnaire du jour au lendemain. Dès le 1er novembre, Musk dirigera toutes les activités opérationnelles de Mastodon, qui portera désormais le nom de Muskodon.
  Sur son compte Mastodon, Musk a posté le message "the mammoth is released" peu après l'annonce de l'accord.

  - Deep Learning
  @Gargron Selon Musk, rien ne devrait changer dans un premier temps pour les dizaines d'utilisateurs de Mastodon. Les critiques craignent toutefois que Donald Trump n'apparaisse bientôt sur la plate-forme.
  De nombreux utilisateurs de Mastodon se sont montrés indignés par ce rachat et ont annoncé qu'ils se tourneraient à l'avenir vers la start-up de Fürth "Zöglfrexer", qui ne compte actuellement que 7 utilisateurs, comme alternative.
  Merci @DeepLearning

  @Gargron "good" old times when my former sociopathic boss spent his whole afternoons reading Der Postillion and using those fake news just to try to be funny among the team. Half of those were lost in translation

  @Gargron We've got "The Beaverton" in Canada and they get that a lot too. The problem with really good satire is that it sounds believable. Of course, people need to think for longer than a few seconds to get past that. Analasys is not our strong point these days, unfortunately.

  That amount of money sounds like what he has in his bill fold at the moment. Def at least make him go to the ATM. :P
  I can't read German, so I haven't seen it before, but I know with The Onion, I can tell an out of context screenshot is from there by the font? Its very distinct. I imagine Der Postillon is like that too.
  People are just unobservant.
  Ugh.

  @Gargron I wrote a blog post about Mastodon and the Twitter buyout on my blog Ventil earlier today. If you want to read it quickly and tell me if anything is wrong that would be great (if there are things I misunderstood about Mastodon or the Fediverse I am so sorry, and if so I will correct it immediately)???Here is the link: https://marialivgallery.com/2022/10/30/elon-musk-buys-twitter-and-people-leave-for-decentralized-alternatives/

  @Gargron For those of us that used Twitter primarily for news, I wrote a post about how to keep up with news (specifically immigration news, policy, and research) without Twitter here. Might be useful for some people.
