Nothing against satire on the internet or social media, really.
I'm the last person who doesn't like to laugh.
On the contrary, I have already had to accept one or two “unfriendings” on my private account because I don’t behave as seriously as some people think of me. And I'm really into satire, even as a teenager I liked satire, even political satire.
I'm also friends on social media with the operators of some really good satirical websites. I love it when they publish their texts and they are humorous, make you think, but in the end they always contain a little stumbling block because they are written in such a way that they could be true. It's the mix of these different components that makes it. What is clumsy, however, are pseudo-satires that do not work on multiple levels, but rather only devote themselves to a specific aspect and then maximize it, such as “screwing people over”. Then the content comes out, as can be found on 24.aktuelles.com. You don't know 24current? This website says about itself: “24current.
com – is a website intended for entertainment, the false news is written by our users. All news on this site is fictitious and fictional, it's all just for fun! None of the fake news should be taken seriously or used as a legitimate source of information.” These user contributions are then optimized for social media via the metatext, so that the content shared on Facebook, for example, is considered real news. This results in “terribly funny” content such as the ban on driving licenses or the announcement that a winter with temperatures of up to 40 degrees below zero can be expected in Germany.
Somehow the humor in the thing itself is missing, because only the respective authors should have fun with it because they want to fool others.
Sure, part of satire might be to mislead others. But not as the only aspect. I don't know, or maybe it's just me, that the kind of "jokes" that appear on 24aktuelles are often not funny? At the same time, you also have to say that some of the really weak jokes can scare people. In this case, think of the horror clowns, whose acts appeared primarily on 24aktuelles and were therefore fictional.
Nachrichten.de .com
By the way, the operators of 24aktuelles expanded their format some time ago and also use the domain Nachrichten.de .com.
Other address own content. However, this address is obviously particularly reputable for many Internet users due to the term “message” in combination with the misleading mention of “.de”. Otherwise I cannot explain why these texts are taken at face value. And now here we are again, regularly receiving inquiries about content from 24aktuelles and Nachrichten.de.com. The answer to this is always the same: it is fictional content. I no longer like answers that say it's a joke, especially not satire, because that would almost be an insult to those who publish really good satire.
Therefore, always note: the texts that appear on the pages 24aktuelles and Nachrichten.de .com are fictitious content! But laughter is different.
