You know what does show headlines? Mastodon.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 43 points 1 year ago

The real headline is why hasn't Mastodon renamed itself to just M yet.

[-] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 year ago

John Mastodon would never allow that.

Wait but X is 4 letters away from T. 4 letters away from M is… Q. QANON CONFIRMED, IT WAS ALL RIGHT IN FRONT OF US SHEEPLE

Anyone still using that spewhole is either a nazi, an embarrassed nazi, or forced to use nazi propaganda tools by their workplace.

Facebook is the CBS of social media, they’ll be around until their userbase literally dies. “X” (snort, chuckle), uh, is not.

So instead of being fooled by fake and misleading headlines written by journalists, you can get fooled by fake and misleading headlines written by Twitter users? If you insist on not reading the article, I’m not sure one of those is worse than the other.

Being fooled by Twitter users is worse as they can link to reputable sources (that usually wouldn't post clickbait/bad headings). There's also little incentive for twitter users to not post misleading headlines, while (some) journalists/news sites are trying to build a reputation of reputability. Yes, it would be solved by clicking the article, but you shouldn't have to click every article to make sure the poster isn't lying about the content.

I aint native english and I cant understand a word from title. Is this normal?

[-] PastaGorgonzola@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Not sure what part you don't understand, but I'll try and help: Snopes (a fact checking website) shows that the way links are displayed nowadays (the new link presentation or new way links are presented) on X (formerly Twitter) lacks any sense -> snopes shows the folly of it.

[-] Aopen@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! My previous interpretation: Snopes Shows™ - company related to film industry Folly™ - name of another company, surprisingly there is no comma or "and" between them X's - unknown high number or Twitter New Link Presentation™ - Proprietary feature made by big tech company I have never heard about

So it looks like Clickbaity Capitalisation Of Every Word fooled me. IMO title should look like: "Snopes shows the folly of new link presentation on X"

These are actually standard English title capitalization rules. Most words are capitalized, save for grammatical articles.

TIL English capitalisation rules in titles. I tought they are same as in Polish. Quick search for Polish rules:

Question:

I would like to kindly ask you to clarify whether the name of the "Polish Biographical Dictionary" should be written in lowercase letters, like other multi-volume compact publications. Wikipedia editors stubbornly insist on spelling the dictionary in capital letters, guided by, among other things, prefer authors (PBD editors) who use capital letters of all title elements on the title page.

Answer:

In single-word and multi-word titles of books, scientific dissertations, films, laws or declarations, we write only the first word with a capital letter, e.g. Zarys grammar of Polish, [translator capitalized non-first words] The Little Princess, Orthographic Dictionary of the Polish Language, etc. (exceptions are: Old Testament, New Testament, Holy Scripture and Magna Charta Libertatum). It is also allowed to write entire words of the title in capital letters on the covers and title pages of books, in the titles of films, plays, advertisements or sporting events (e.g.: THE LITTLE PRINCESS). Please do not be influenced by what Wikipedia suggests. Regards Anna Sokół-Klein

Aaaaand Musk had them banned.

Okay probably not, but you never know with that petty sociopath. Regardless I ditched Twitter the day Musky took over. It's not like I used it much anyway, and I ditched FB during the aftermath of T***p's election before he even took office. I don't miss either one.
