That title had to be clickbait and it got me. Here I was fully believing segregation had come back to Arkansas in some capacity.

I’m assuming you thought they were allowing a class of African Americans to graduate…?

It’s not clickbait just because you misinterpreted it.

@glimse @gullible

Misinterpretation is the fault of the presenter, not the reader.

Speak or write to your audience.

@girlfreddy

The audience is people who have been following the news. Recent events are the context that make this make perfect sense. You can take a headline from 10 years ago and it won’t make any sense without context, too.

It’s a crash blossom and intentional. Omitting words for news speak is specifically meant to promote ambiguity. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, to have been downvoted for being completely right.

You were right. The downvotes are from people who've become used to AI editorship, something I abhor.

I just realized, you’re from mastodon.social. How have you managed to follow what’s going on in this thread? I tried reading lemmy/kbin posts from mastodon and had a fair bit of trouble navigating their comments. UI update? App update?

I'm on an app called Megalodon, a fork of the Mastodon app. It's on both the App store and Google play.

I love it. 👍
