Fact Check - Blog Posts
And this is exactly why they hate fact checking.
all their history reduced to nothing bc xbox decided that all their resources should go to the 36228th call of duty and a new fallout sequel bc now there is a show on and they need the hype to sell more. the future looks terrible. Thanks for nothing.
The only way to stop misinformation and avoid inadvertently spreading radical rhetoric is to stop sharing things you haven't personally looked into.
It sucks, especially with the state of the world right now, but before you reblog something:
Is there a linked source in the post? Click through and read the article, don't reblog it on faith.
Are there verifiable claims in the post but no source? Look them up, see if you can verify what's being said.
Is someone claiming something can't be verified? Try anyway. It's possible that the truth just isn't convenient to the point the person is trying to make.
Does something sound right but you haven't learned much about the topic? You need to learn about the topic first, not from social media but from reputable sources.
Don't have the spoons to fact check? Then I'm really sorry, but don't share it. Don't reblog.
i know it sucks, I know you want to be engaged. But there is rampant misinformation on this site, and it is better to not share anything than to spread lies.
