When we have a critical mass of people, we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way.

    If that works for you, then go for it:-). Would we call this “anti-trolling”? :-P

    But the OP was about how to bring in normies, and in that context, I would like to see some kind of warning label slapped onto certain places on the Fediverse - as in, “warning: this place often spouts bullshit, just so you know, caution is advised”. Again, we are talking about “normies” - they may not all want to anti-engage with trolls as you do.

    i.e., doing so should be opt-in, rather than opt-out, imho.

      That’s fair. But I think that’s kind of what I’m doing by combating the trolls. “Some of these people spout bullshit, but they get called out by the community”.
