minus-square@twelvefloatinghandslink37•10 months agoI’ve been thinking that fact checking alone is not enough. Are there any projects focused on identifying the sources of false talking points?
minus-square@Cryophilialink11•10 months agoWaste of time. There’s tens of millions of people out there willing to make stuff like this up.
