What a shitty click baity article. Not sure who should be more ashamed, the writer, the editor, or anyone who would share it.

Why? He was suspended minutes after posting.

Then he was unsuspended. The first suspension still happened.

People need to understand that the headline is there to get you to read the article. No headline is going to tell you all the details.

Read the article.

It was an automated system to prevent impersonation accounts which the actual news article this was based off of mentioned.

Yeah it's inescapable really. Many people probably are more up to date with American politics than those of their own country.

Was he not suspended in 12 minutes?

You don't think that the omission of the very relevant followup fact from the title is misleading, perhaps intentionally so, to someone only glancing at headlines?

Imagine if the police were looking for your neighbor, mistook your house for theirs, arrested you thinking you were them, then minutes later released you when they realized their error. Would an article titled 'TachyonTele arrested in own home' be a fair summary of those events?

Imagine not being American being a US'ian having critical and rational thinking skills and having to read about the American soap opera in your our technology community and everywhere else.

People really need to understand that headlines are not the entire article. I'm curious how and when that disconnect happened.

RE: your edit.
Articles have a summary for a reason. Then they have details.

Simply adding one word would have made the title much less misleading.

'JD Vance gets briefly suspended from bluesky 'just 12 minutes after first post''

As it stands, it strongly implies that his first post caused him to get suspended, and that he's still suspended now. I'm not even sure why this is considered newsworthy. Why did someone even bother writing this article? Answer is, I'd wager, because the headline makes it sound sensational when it's in fact not, and it drives clicks.

I recommend going into journalism and being the change you want to see.

Nothing you say here will change anything you're nitpicking to death.
It's simply not that serious.

It becomes very fatiguing. Especially when the same article is posted in several places.

To make things worse, it's a trash article. It's literally just quoting another article. So it's bot scraped, bot written, title generated with zing and spooned to idiot cohorts on places like this, simply to garner traffic.

There are a lot of simple users on Lemmy, though they'd hate to admit it. But we have this post in this community with those comments, soooo..... GG, big brains

Hey! Whoa! Our government is NOT a soap opera!

Soap operas are entertaining, and have lots of revealing love affairs. Nobody is sleeping with J.D. Vance.

I mean, ew. It's J.D Vance! Do YOU want to sleep with J.D Vance? No? Yeah, exactly. Not a soap opera!

So it’s bot scraped, bot written, title generated with zing and spooned to idiot cohorts on places like this, simply to garner traffic.

And they say real journalism isn't dead!

Imagine not being American and using Bluesky. Or Mastodon. That's the vast majority of what's there if you speak English.

To be fair, I remember this EXACT same conversation on reddit in 2010. Back when republicans were bashing Obama for being Obama, and Obama responded by wearing a suit in a mustard color brown that conservatives LOST THEIR SHIT OVER on twitter.

I thought the suit looked spiffy!

And now, nothing has changed. Replace one politician with another, manufacture more outrage over stories that don't pertain to the rest of the world, and we all learn nothing.

And pretty soon, we won't NEED to learn anything! With the AI takeover at large, soon humanity will be nothing more than an easily controlled and manipulated mob, with no critical thinking skills to speak of, and all their thinking will be handled by the corporations with the sole purpose to create unregulated profits and nothing more.

What could possibly go wrong?

Imagine blocking US centric communities so you don't have anything to complain about.

Total non story. While I hate JD and think he shouldn't be allowed to spread his hate. He was suspended until they could verify it was actually him; then it was unblocked.

Yes and there's absolutely nothing news worthy about it unless you're trying to deceive people for profit.

Yep. I almost feel like I live in the USA. When in reality of course, the USA doesn't exist

That's a problem I wish I had.
