Don’t you think that’s a bit of a hysterical take?

Stories like this one, someone noticing that a website has been taken down, will disappear??

It’s hardly the peak of investigative journalism or a complicated story requiring hundreds of hours of work by a trained journalist.

Hysterical as in funny? It’s already happening.

If you cut off a story before it’s printed, you never even have to take it down.

No, I mean hysterical as in overly exaggerated due to high emotion.

Have you watched the news in the US in the time period since the original post? Has any news media even mentioned this? A post on mastodon is great. I would venture that 99% of the population from the US doesn’t use Mastodon, tho I don’t really know for sure the numbers . Of the percentage that do, how many are going to see this person’s post?
