@TheIvyClover1@copyeditors Maybe not running a story based on unverifiable claims? -
@UnBFOfficial@TheIvyClover1@copyeditors And RETRACTING the story should the claims be conclusively debunked. -
@PXC_Macavity@TheIvyClover1@copyeditors Retract the old post and put out a new one, explaining the debunking with an apology. - End of conversation

@copyeditors So, say you post a screenshot of a tweet about feminism. You may end up giving hateful folks or MRAs a target.#ACESchat -
@clearing_blocks@copyeditors Yes. Found that out when posting — for my work — on a story about a LGBT grant. Comments were rude.#ACESchat -
@gerrrib@copyeditors Yeah. Sometimes it's just rude comments; sometimes it's rape and death threats.#ACESchat
