How to know what tweets are fake

With the “tweet” going around that Quake is getting rebalanced:
I thought I’d give you some pointers on how to spot fake tweets.
1. The font. That’s not the twitter font, more like a photoshopped block of text pasted on an mcoc tweet.
2. Is it on forums? If there isn’t an official mod post about it on forums, it’s false. The forums are where Kabam will first announce any rebalances to champions.
3. The date. This “tweet” is dated to April 24th, a month ago. If no one has talked about it in that month, it’s wrong.
4. The retweets. Official MCOC tweets rarely get over 100 retweets, let alone 500.
5. Spelling. While not evident in this post, some of these fake posts can’t spell, like this one:
That’s not how you spell either Hulkbuster or Ægon. Kabam knows how to spell the names of their champions.
Hope this helps you identify these fake tweets in the future. If anyone else has any tips, feel free to add on below!

Anyway. In an ideal world we would hope people look into or research everything said in a social media capacity. But that in and of itself is not realistic. Actually. If you were too research every thing posted on ones personal social media feeds it would likely be impossible.
Whether right or wrong - I’m not debating morality - social media in its various iterations have become people’s news sources. Heck. Even the Wall Street journal gets it wrong and so does bbc news.
I’m not sure what “schooling” someone who read something on Twitter, or saw a photo of what looked like a Twitter post, is going to accomplish exactly.
