Tip: Keep the page up with no posts for a few weeks. Then mirror some real posts and/or post links to the actual newspaper. Then, if you haven't been taken down after about 2 months, start easing in a few joke posts. It will take a lot longer before you get reported. Also, don't use news stations or corporations, because they're typically more protective of their names on social media

I'm one of those people who doesn't like trolling. Usually it just makes you wonder about the troll's motive and how they spend their time before it makes you laugh. This guy is making me realize that a proper troll makes you laugh first then question the motive of their mark, and never makes you question themselves.
Boomers always fail to understand online humor, especially satire. Before you all say that it’s hard to detect it via black and white text, here’s a hint: Assume everything is satire until you find out otherwise. Boomers haven’t figured that out yet.
