    I wonder if Lemmy has a better track record for misinfo than 2018 Twitter. Or even… Pre-2016 twitter. Gosh twitter has been shit for so long. Anyway. Do we have a news community that makes strides to be perfectly correct? I bet a lot of people would hate posting and commenting there lol.

      I assume it’s a mixed bag: Some servers will remove it, others won’t and the worst of the worst will actively disseminate it.
