Another one who fell for the fake news right here.
Part of me wishes there was a better way to model retractions, corrections, and certainty of claims within social media platforms.
I almost feel like by default a post or tweet should be marked as uncertain/not serious, and in order for someone to mark it as certain, they require some form evidence like a link or a picture.
Then people browsing on the platform should by default only see posts made with certainty unless they manually select to view uncertain or unserious posts.
This might also stop the community backlash when someone says something stupid and people take them too seriously and start a flame war over it.
For those browsing in serious mode, if one user has their evidence discredited too often then they lose privileges and rights on the serious platform.
