Trans pilot falsely blamed in Potomac plane crash sues conservative influencer

Soon after Ellis’ statement on Facebook, Wallace shared another X user’s post with Ellis’ video, writing that it was an “Important Update!” and adding that Ellis was not piloting the helicopter and is still alive. Wallace also wrote in another X post that the original rumor that Ellis had been flying the helicopter involved in the crash came from another account with the handle @FakeGayPolitics, which is no longer active. Wallace said the rumor “seemed credible” because Ellis, whom Wallace misgendered in his posts, “wrote an article calling out Trump’s trans military ban only a few days ago.”

How does this logic work in his head?

Ayo Edebiri ‘got insane death threats’ after Elon Musk shared fake report about Pirates of the Caribbean casting

The level of utter derangement people have over mainstream cinema (marvel, star wars, franchise, action slop, disney remakes) being 'tainted' by a raceswap, or being 'woke' in some way is off the scales.

There are genuinely people crying themselves to sleep over the perceived quality of the entertainment equivalent of happy meals. There's an entire caustic critic industry over it. It's honestly pathetic how so many people have MCU Derangement syndrome.

"You should create a group when demand is there and not the other way around." In other words, start from generalist communities, and create more specialized ones when there is a need. Do you agree?

I suppose part of the problem with many nicher community concepts is that on here, for many, it is often screaming into the abyss. You can't keep a flow of content going in many cases. Meaning it just sits there quietly. And if someone down the line happens to join lemmy and be interested, it's conceivable they'll see the small community you made, think its dead, and then make their own. I think niche communities can work, but there needs to be a way for the owner to post new content every day without just seeming to talk to themselves. My ObscureMusic community works in that sense because I have a large amount of obscure music that (if anyone's noticed) I'm going down alphabetically lol.

I actually think the answer to this is that lemmy needs some kind of built-in categorisation system.
