More video and eyewitness info on Al Jazeera so far

Also reported on Common Dreams and Middle East Eye.

I haven’t found any reports of any independent investigations yet, hopefully they are underway

    Yeah bots can downvote, I’m saying it’s easy to say something was downvoted because of bots, there is no way to prove it right or wrong. It’s also very possible that many actual people disagree with the comment.

      Sure, so we will never know. But it’s probably telling enough that accounts frequently come and go here. I don’t keep track, but many of the most active usernames last week are gone this week.

        I don’t have that experience, I’ve seen a lot of the same users many times. A lot of people come here as a first step into the fediverse also. I first heard of Lemmy.world after trying to find a better reddit alternative, I may have made an account, but found a different federated instance that was more to my liking.

          Welp, their posts were also deleted. As a first step they are trying to get a foothold here, and after they fail they disappear, just to try again and go through the cycle again.
