[lowerbourneshot]

Who remembers Grandstand's classic April Fools' Day prank, when the staff staged a fake fight behind presenter Des Lynam during a live broadcast? The original broadcast took place on 1st April 1989.

Yes its a dreadful place, full of neo-nazi's and conspiracy theorists and read by Reform voting Daily Mail readers thinking nasty thoughts whilst being polite to everybody.
I just keep an account open because I find it the fastest way to get Shots match updates when I'm not at the game and unable to listen to the commentary. That's all, no participation in the sewer.

I don't use social media but I'm surprised the club doesn't post on BlueSky which was considered to be a Twitter/X alternative. Apparently they have an account but haven't used it in four months. I'd assume they'd have the ability to post directly to multiple social media feeds at the same time. Perhaps something our social media team could look into improving?

As I stated I don't use social media so I wouldn't know.

guess it depends on your definition I suppose. the intention is to replicate the good bits without the bad bits (e.g hate speech, bots). Best bet to avoid them all...

Or learn to use them properly. Like any tool, there’s a right way and wrong way of using it.

Careful. Disparaging anything left-leaning is likely to be considered hate speech and you might get a visit.

Following ATFC's rather limp Spring Water prank this morning, I felt suitably enthused (don't worry it won't last long) to pass on a rather good April Fool I saw this morning on Twatter.

It was from Andrew Bridgen - you know, the former Conservative MP that turned into a foaming at the mouth anti-vaxxer - well, he's re-twatted a twat this morning like he often does with a bit of grift saying "The truth is slowly emerging! Where are the Legacy Media?" Thing is the twat he's forwarded is a 'news' article with the headline "WHO admits that Monkeypox is a side effect of CV mRNA Vaccines"

As this knob Bridgen passes on misinformation on a daily basis, the conundrum is;
Did he re-twat it to his followers to continue the joke?
OR
Did he forwarded it because he'd swallowed the bait, hook an all?

This isn't a dig at you Ian, but I'm surprised you'd be on Twitter/X in that case, as it's known to be an echo chamber for right-wing beliefs.

At least we don't have to read your spreadsheets spreading misinformation on there

It's for the lefties to indulge themselves....Where they agree that what everyone puts on there is correct

A sad reflection of the nature of discourse today. Many cannot countenance an opinion that differs from theirs and they choose their media accordingly. It could be dismissed as puerile if it was not for a government here in the UK that has taken it a step further and heavily subscribes to the idea of persecuting those who dare to disagree and as a consequence is now being punished by a once steadfast ally.

What's wrong with right-wing beliefs ?
