If it weren’t for twitter, i wouldn’t have even known there was another attempt on Trump. I don’t sort Lemmy by new and there was nothing in the top posts about it (that I saw, at least) until HOURS after it happened. None of the other social media sites I use showed anything for a while either.
I didn’t know it happened either, but I check the news a couple times a day to see if anything happened.
It seems like you’re being disingenuous. You said you need Twitter to find out about things like the assassination attempt, so obviously you check Twitter, but the concept of checking the news is apparently strange to you.
He didn’t mean to check if there had been an attempt to eradicate Trump specifically, he meant open a news app occasionally, as one does a social media app.
“Don’t believe initial reporting about any dramatic event. The rush to be first often overrides the responsibility to try to be correct. As with any event like this, some of this information is likely to change as more information becomes available.”
In any case, I heard about the attempt shortly after I started scrolling through lemmy last night, so from my pov the information had gotten to me in a timely manner.

in other words, since it can be assumed that you’re checking multiple social medias often enough for “HOURS” to make such a huge difference, then basically your life is driven by FOMO, and you see no problem with that.
kudos for the honesty at least. you do you and keep supporting that nazi safespace
Pretty glad that all of these responses are assumptions about my character just because I somehow managed to not see that someone tried to merc trump again for the whole day.

What did you gain by knowing unconfirmed information a few hours earlier? Did you need to act on that “information” that quickly?
People who view policymaking as “entertainment” are the reason we have Trump in the first place.
I would rather have my entertainment sooner, as opposed to never.
In this case it’s not “never”, I don’t use twitter and saw this news on Lemmy this morning.
This isn’t some fucking game. Here let me make it more concrete and personal for your pea-brain:
I will find it very entertaining when your family and friends are lined up and shot to death while you watch.
You could simply open a news site a couple times a day. They all had the assassination attempt up pretty quickly.
I didn’t know it happened. Why would I have thought to go looking for something I don’t know about?

You might consider reading some real news, vetted and produced by professional journalists. Twitter is not news source, neither is Reddit.
I typically do, twitter happened to be the first place I saw any information about it, nothing else tipped me off about it happening until then.

It’s such a non-event that even the Conservative lemmy didn’t post about it until yesterday.

you’re trying to defend twitter with “i need it for news”
that says a lot about your character. no assuming needed
The ap app notified me so you can’t be trying that hard to replace twitter
I knew here within 30 minutes. Also on Bluesky. Also on any major news source.
If you’re not finding the stuff I think that’s on your
Its so funny that lemmy thinks its better than reddit with all these reddit ass responses.
Biggest bunch of self righteous blowhards I’ve ever seen.
Go complain about it on Twitter.
