@Baku Key details from that article:
"A Sydney woman has been awarded more than $11,000 after she was thrown to the floor of a train when it hit a buffer stop at the end of a line.
"The 62-year-old woman and her husband were passengers on the T5 line service in January 2018 when it failed to slow down and hit the buffer stop at Richmond station.
"The woman, then aged 56, was on a carriage stairwell and was thrown from the second step onto the floor of the vestibule, the District Court of NSW heard.
“The woman briefly lost consciousness and woke up on the floor of the carriage.”
So she didn’t just fall over on a train and sue, as the headline suggests. She was knocked over and lost consciousness because the train driver didn’t slow down and hit a buffer stop at full force.
Interesting, don’t think I’ve ever had someone from mastodon reply to me before
And yeah, 7 is pretty scummy with their headlines, but I thought the article was fairly interesting
It seems like Lemmy and Mastodon are mostly compatible because this is how your post appears: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/111463650307399063
Interesting. Not sure how I feel about that, it looks like I intensionally phrased it in a victim blame-ey way, rather than just posting a link (which is what I attended). But admittedly, I never used Twitter and don’t really use mastodon, so perhaps people over there read more than the average redditor before jumping to conclusions
Looks like you did a better job than the bot that usually first posts under every article 😁
@Baku @unionagainstdhmo I don’t think it looks like you posted it in a victim-blamey way. More like it was the Channel Seven article’s headline.
