Have you ever stopped listening to or trusting a person who posts information in media, or online because of a "red flag" ?

That is are there certain topics, habits, actions etc. that instantly decrease your trust in a person you might have otherwise listened to on a podcast, article, or video?

Are there any "green flags" that build trust?

@futurebird Both-sides-ism (performative neutrality) or being on the wrong side of a major issue (transphobic, homophobic, climate denier, science denier, etc).

@EPIKURAS The issue is not time zones, it's time standards: time passes more quickly on the Moon due to General Relativity, so the Moon needs its own time standard. Also, the Earth rotates relative to the Moon so there is no preferred Earth time zone.

@EPIKURAS Again, time zones are not the issue here. Please read the article.

This is a disgrace, and based on politically-motivated pseudoscience. Dr. Cass collaborated with Ron DeSantis' team of “scientists” in Florida. All based on an intentional moral panic.

Another thing I am missing on is the ability to add notes to blocks.

For some, it's obvious. For others, I'd really like to be reminded why I blocked.

[edit to add: I mean notes added during the blocking process, without having to go to the account and add a note there.]

Whatever else people use it for, X’s primary function now is spreading disinformation. It can be kept alive indefinitely as it is very useful to those who benefit from that spread of disinformation. This will only end when people stop using X and leave; the platform is beyond redemption.

“All the news that fits our worldview, we print.” Shameful. The fact that the NYT thinks they're "objective and neutral" would be comical if the consequences for the trans community weren't so dire.

Joey! 🦘

I got a chance to have a baby kangaroo on my lap for the first time! 😍

He felt all angular legs & tail pushing round inside his rescue pouch.

My son does wildlife rescue. This poor sweetie lost his mother – she was hit by a car. 😢 He goes to a registered foster home now, & is big enough to do fine. 🤞 🤞 🤞

Joey snuggled into his "pouch." Only his face is visible. The pouch is a bag made of snuggly cloth, with an elasticized opening. It's turquoise, with a white pattern.
