    His followers don’t think he lost, remember. Most of them still think he’s president.

      There’s this thing I’ve noticed on Facebook, I don’t fully understand but they post things Maga really want to be true like ‘try that in a small town singer smashes tailor swift attendance record’ with an obviously unrelated or fake picture. The comments are almost everyone acting like it’s true, there was one about some woke companies share value falling fifty percent with everyone celebrating then once comment linking to a share price tracker pointing out its not even close to true.

      I don’t know who makes them or why but the comnent section believes them.

        This is why I deleted all of my social media accounts years ago. All I have now is a mastodon account.

        I don’t really consider this social media in the same way. Lemmy is a social news aggregator, so it’s adjacent to social media, but people here aren’t friends, we’re all anonymous. It’s not really the same thing. Perhaps one might call it “pseudosocial media”.
