Asymmetrical warfare. Truth can never win. Fact checking is akin to boiling the ocean.
Just require attribution and real names.
Then ban algorithmic newsfeeds, targeted advertising, and bots.
Sure, let the Freedom Speeches™ trolls keep their conspiracy theories and hoaxes. Anything approaching omission will trigger the cancel culture keyboard commandos. And who needs that heart ache?
But ffs stop promoting it. And if it's not signed with a real name, don't pass it off as any thing more than it is.
PS- I'm open towards banning likes and retweets. I haven't dug into the data, but I'm reasonably sure they're part of the dopamine addiction too. And if these obvious, common sense, proven remedies are not enough, start adding other frictions to the feedback loops.
- Barrin92 6y agoI think another underrated solution may be geographically restricted posting. Someone else was talking about massive amounts of trolls flooding local groups that try to inform people about the fire, so why not have a feature where communities are effectively GPS locked down to some radius. Otherwise agreed with all the points.
