I am planning to create a bot that would allow people to tag posts or content they want to get fact checked. The idea is this:
(1) you tag the soon-to-be fact-checker bot under a comment or main thread, something like @fact_check_this
(2) the bot cross-posts on the community page on lemmy.world
(3) for the future, given sufficient answers to the post (maybe we can control that with flairs or something), the bot can also nudge back the person who requested the fact checking

(4) will share the code for the bot so that others can replicate this on their own instances, now thinking of forking this one: https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-bot
