Higher Quality Posts Wanted
Garbage IN, Garbage OUT!
- I have seen several posts which end up being false stories or disinformation, many of which end up being shared with others (such as family members) only to have to walk back their posts once they realize the posts were based on fake stories. This makes it harder to wake normies up.
- To help reduce the proliferation of disinformation, if you are creating a post please verify that what you are posting is accurate in its entirety.
- For example, if you want to post an image of a Twitter message instead of the Twitter link, verify that the post actually exists. It may be worth adding the link into a comment or an archived link in case people would like to also verify.
- Here is an actual example: https://greatawakening.win/p/15JUCeprCJ/got-your-coffee-walk-up-to-the-l/ While the image is real, the example thumbnails are not real. Either mark it a shitpost or perhaps we could post this with a new flair of "Disinformation Alert" or something.
- Let's work to make this community better, by being more accurate with what is and what is not for entertainment, and what is actually accurate enough to share with normies.
I'm the guilty poster in the post, above. Agree with OP, I'll try to vet these posts and flair them properly in the future. That said, however, the post in question is worth passing around, as is. We are influencers, and we have all seen genuine news articles where jurisdictions go after people for selling whole, unpasteurized milk, living disconnected from the grid, or other ways that we choose to exercise our freedoms. Before passing things like this along to our social networks, ALL of us could be doing a better job of verifying all the information that's flying around. BUT. Y'all know we try to keep the content flowing. But, no excuses, we'll try to do better!
LET'S GOOOooOoo
Lol hello catsfive, I meant no disrespect to you, it was just a great example, which shows anyone could make the mistake and we shouldn't accuse each other of anything, but instead lift each other up and make this place even better.
I was actually about to send your posted image to a friend but decided it would be best to double-check the accuracy. I do agree, that the thumbnails are likely accurate, but I likely would have been called out by my friends once they found the real post.
Do you think it would be possible to get a new flair in? Like "Known Disinformation" or "Fake" could even be one
I don't know about censoring, as many writers of OP's including those here I find very very good. Let us discern the information coming at us. I know if I post something that's false I have people here ready to jump on me and correct me. Iron sharpens iron as we say with bible studies. It makes us better and more informed. Just my 2 cents.
