    Yes we all saw it. Do people really need to get an ELI5?

    I’m just curious tbh if there were people that didn’t realize all of this?

      Some may have only caught the story insofar as “Twatter refuses to pay fine, is banned in Brazil” is concerned, with the other details left unfilled. The short summary here emphasizes just how much of an unforced error this all was.

        But that only relates to people only reading headlines. From what I read, almost every article at least explained some of the previous steps within this list.

          Not everyone feels the need to read such articles. I’m glad for this summary. Provided it’s true, but it’s entirely believable.

      You’re asking if there are others on Lemmy without your perception and understanding of the world?

      I think this might be a “sit down” talk…

        I’ve been waiting all day to finally learn something from people that get their news from pictures of Twitter posts!

          Here’s a response assuming you’re question was in good faith. I follow lots of news stories from multiple sources and I count lemmy as one of those sources. This was my first time hearing this. This is part of my process to stay informed. If OP had not posted this, I may not have known. Hope this helps!

      I actually appreciated the summary! I only heard the broad strokes about Brazil banning Xitter.

      I did not know anything about this. The only social media I use is Lemmy (and Facebook Messenger reluctantly) and I avoid the news. I also filter out the word Musk cause I don’t give a crap about that piss baby. But this ELI5 was great, always nice to see rich fucks get fucked.

      What kind of question is that? What kind of answer do you want?
