Great example.is anyone using rt tweets or articles as a source, a propaganda arm is not something that should be considered good faith, and it be the same as someone linking breitbart articles or the daily stormer, almost certainly false or so completely out of context that the underlying quote or story is completely different from what's written.

That is an excellent point, and it brings up the issue with DnD now, its not about cataloging and talking about stuff and going over what's occurring. Right now DnD is majorly talk and chat threads that are about posting things that fit your world view. Cspam is now a whole nother forum, and posting is praxis is the thing there, we should be encouraging more serious talks and some amount of effort in DnD and not just slamming the post button and making GBS threads out a single sentence with a link to something that you skimmed over the tweet about that may support what your trying to vomit out to make your posting enemies mad.

Make people have to source and provide examples from articles and encourage effort. get rid of the bullshit no body tweets and propaganda reports from known massively biased accounts. We wouldnt support tweets and articles from loving breitbart or the daily stormer, we shouldnt encourage posts from bullshit websites that arent doing reporting and are just posting literal unsourced lies to cause people to freak out.

You don’t have to have a couple of pages. Like, the moment you see 2-3 of those replies you can just ignore it.

The issue is no one loving does. Derails from bad sources and poo poo articles that aren't actually real happen all the time and go for pages, get dropped for 1 then get brought back up and go for another 3. Or someone comes in to reinforce the troll just because and welp here's ten pages of bullshit that poo poo up the threads.

That is dnd and sa at the current time. Because some people want to be assholes and post bs articles or tweets just to cause issues. That's what people here want to stop. It's not as simple as oh just don't post, there's people that refuse to do anything but post when they see something. Stopping the posting is praxis poo poo would do more to help this place but lol if that's gonna happen
