          people can make up their own minds… this is a public discussion board.

              Block them and move on, no engagement will be far worse for them than negative responses.

                I’d rather not leave people spreading disinformation unchallenged / unchecked. Someone else might read their comments and think that’s the right opinion to have.

                  Oh absolutely report them first, but remember, a simple downvote and then (report+block) means they’re shouting into the abyss.

                    I rarely report people anymore, especially on communities that don’t even state any rules at all. I pretty much blocked all direct news communities due to them ignoring Tankies & disinformation within the comments, arguing they cannot fact check everything. And yes, I get that. But there’s been so much obvious ones that I cannot support moderation on this platform in good faith anymore. Especially when some mods end up threatening me with a ban for reporting people, since reports here are not anonymous.

                  It’s technically not disinformation. Just a flawed conclusion. Politely pointing out alternative, more accurate, ways to look at it is the recommended method.
