I am asking because I see a lot of stuff posted here that's just a screencap of Twitter or a headline from some no name site with most of the text cropped, and most commenters just take it as fact and react accordingly (offended, hopium, interested, etc). But clearly people trying to troll will write stuff that they think you would want to read, like a bait is always something the potential catch will enjoy.

So, my question is what do you personally do to filter and sort real from fake?

Because I suspect that for a lot of people here that means:

something I want to hear or sort of matches Q stuff => REAL something that I don't like to hear or goes against Q stuff => FAKE
