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.
How about history posts that have some kind of scholarly reference. I realize much of historical literature is 90% opinion on 10% facts, but giving a source or three and the background of the authors doing the reporting would do a lot to keep myths to a minimum. For instance, if you knew a certain assertion originated from the Spanish Inquisition, you would know a lot about the authors biases.
As a history buff, I would love this. I was at one point creating a history website. Maybe I can instead start posting history. Maybe I should make a separate username for it. If i did what should my username be?
