- I realize that social media censorship has limited the avenues available to POTUS to communicate to us. But we don't need to keep saying he'll "be on NewsMax at 7 PM", "Trump is dead", etc. He has EBS when he needs to say something.
- We need to raise the quality of our journalism here on GA. Too much speculation, not enough verification. Many posts are claiming all kinds of wild crap with no "proof". NOTHING can stop what is coming. We need to let things take their course and stop trying to speculate about things that we know nothing about.

A handy guide I posted last night:
"We are the news" means:
1.Be precise with your language.
Don't take a rumor and present it as a fact.
If you're posting a rumor, make it clear to the reader that it's a rumor.
If the rumor you want to post is from some rando on social media, delete your post and give yourself several lashings.
If your rumor is from someone who has been credible in the past, note this to the reader.
Anonymously sourced stories should be taken with a huge grain of salt whether they're anti-Trump OR pro-Trump.
If someone makes a big claim (for instance, Trump buying GAB) then research that claim and try to find corroboration, ESPECIALLY when it's some social media rando making the claim. If you don't have corroboration, delete your post and give yourself several lashings.
BE RESPONSIBLE. Write your posts with the purpose of adding value to the community, not noise.
Well said fren. Only one thing I might add related to this kind of comment:
It's low effort and doesn't communicate anything other than a psychic downgrading on the material presented. If it's "old," is it upstream or downstream in the record of everyone's experience on the edge of the information wave?
As well, new people don't know what's upstream or downstream. I'm new here, but came with the purpose of expanding my thinking, gaining knowledge and clarity (and peace maybe?), and learning. All good things, IMO, but I didn't come with a good frame of reference to what has come before...
Welcome fren. All we can really do right now is amplify or echo certain messages to drive research and information collection in positive ways.
We can also increase awareness of the responsibility we have "on the edge" to help others begin to develop a chain of truth along the data stream.
