There was a *really* nice post on reddit that debunked it, but for some reason it was taken down as suspected spam. Sounds like things are going great over there. Here is an archived version:
https://web.archive.org/web/20201109043908/https://www.reddit.com/r/Astronomy/comments/9k5gqu/lunar_fake/
Just to give you an idea of why it can’t work:
The moon is half a degree wide. So, using that as a scale, the distance between the almost New Moon and the Full Moon in that picture is about 11°.
You would see a thin waxing crescent near the Eastern horizon, just before sunrise. A Full Moon would be near the Eastern horizon at *sunset* (so, not the same time) or near the Western horizon at sunrise (so, ~180° away, in the opposite direction, MUCH more than 11°).
Anyway, it’s a nice picture, but it’s art, not science. The description is only correct in that the Moon was photographed. I’d delete the rest.

Eventually, some parts of the media abandoned their reluctance to call a presidential lie a lie. But Trump had considerable success in selling his lies to the public because others in the media treated the lies with the respect they thought was due to uttterances of a president". #Trump #media #debunking

Faustine Boulay, une égyptologue, a décidé de réfuter ses théories sur l'Égypte ancienne.
Ça lui a pas plu.
Sfaque Grimault a décidé de la harceler, multipliant les injures, rumeurs, montages vidéos totalement vils envers elle.
Accessoirement, Grimault est proche de l'extrême-droite soralienne.
J'étais pas pour qu'il aille en prison, juste que son harcèlement cesse.
J'espère que Faustine aura la crisse de paix et retrouvera un sentiment de sécurité.

Mastodon by default unfortunately only supports searching via hashtags. You can't search via content in posts unless they type a specific hashtag.
There are exceptions though...
The https://universeodon.com instance has implemented a custom feature for searching text in posts. I'm hoping this gets adopted by more instances! It makes finding like minded and interesting discussions that much better.
Trying there might help you find skeptics and ufo related discussions that way 😉
