    It’s a five day account, that basically became active an hour ago…

    Probably the same person who just keeps making new accounts to say the same thing.

    It happens weirdly often

      The technocrats want nothing more then to cast FUD on to federated platforms. Mastodon worked in their favor when it meant getting people away from right wing Twitter but no doubt they’d find a reason to turn on it later. Expect news reports about harmful misinformation spreading through federated sites.

      I would be surprised if the establishment wasn’t doing stuff like this.

        FUD

        Why are people using that as an acronym now?

        Is it just a crypto thing that people keep trying to make common?

        I dont agree with anything you’re saying, I just want to know people keep trying to make FUD happen, it’s not going to happen.

          FUD goes back to Microsoft during their embrace, extend, extinguish era. It was their game plan for killing open source.

          I had to look it up. FEAR UNCERTAINTY DOUBT for anyone else who is feeling out of the acronym loop.

          I’ve seen the “FUD” acronym thrown around for a while to be honest, usually in the context of highlighting misinformation.

          I don’t follow the crypto community though - i’m guessing they use it a lot more there for some reason?

            At least since the 80s, I think it comes from that Far Side “Cat Fud” cartoon

      I think you’re right… Probably why I recognize the name!
