The German equivalent of The Onion, Der Postillon, made a joke article about Mastodon and I am baffled at how many people seem to think it is real 🤦‍♂️

@Gargron They missed a beat by not photoshopping him with a hammer in his hand and the caption "let that tool in". 🙄

@Gargron The main question is when will it finally be renamed to Muskodon? 😂

@Gargron Well, the headline doesn't really give the spoof away (unless you understand what Mastodon is). But ,yeah, anyone who came as far as 'Muskodon'....

t-lo

@Gargron

@derpostillon also regularly publishes the most bizarre responses / comments to their stories. Really looking forward to that for the Muskodon story.

@Gargron There are an astonishing number of people on the net who have no idea what "Der Postillon" actually is.
These people really believe everything.

Well, @Gargron, media literacy... Some people just don't get it 🤣

For reference: "Elon #Musk buys microblogging service #Mastodon for $1.3 million" 🤡

@Gargron Yeah, sure. Why should I trust someone who manages a Muskodon server?

For everyone else: We will see us on Zöglfrexer!

@Gargron #Muskodon scheint auf den April zurückzugehen, wo die Übernahme angekündigt wurde. Hab es gestern zum ersten Mal gelesen.
