Could I say something is a conspiracy theory and tell a person I don’t think they are not behaving honestly or in good faith? I can chill on the phrasing but the idea of someone reading stuff like that and taking it seriously is frustrating.
I probably don’t have to worry about people on Lemmy, I guess. Reddit and 4chan are more the engines of radicalization. IDK I am frustrated with the massive misinformation pushed on society in general. I wish I could do something about it but I probably cannot. So it feels a bit hopeless.
It gets tricky because someone can just be misinformed and not realize what they’re spreading is misinformation vs actively and maliciously spreading propaganda.
I tend to lean on assuming someone is just wrong and correctable vs. malicious unless proven otherwise, but maybe that’s my flaw as a mod. :) I WANT to believe people are engaging honestly.
If we just believe the opposite of the delusions you post constantly we’d all be pretty close to the truth.
Removed, civility.
Ok, but can something be done about the rule 6 (misinformation) violations that user commits on the regular? Was that comment not misinformation?
Probably, but the civility violation was definite. ;)
