    Hard disagree. Cimate denial, vaccine denial, list goes on of weekly world news level of bs. At one point I was young enough with enough time on my hands to argue these things but nope. Not at this point. If have to be talking about something credible now for me to engage.

      You personally don’t have to engage at all. In fact with the way algorithms work, very specifically do NOT engage if you’re not ready to go all in. But be aware that there are plenty of people out there ready to fill the information void with whatever nonsense that benefits them.

      Nobody has to be a crusader against misinformation, but I’d strongly caution against thinking that just ignoring the problem will make it go away.
