If we just believe the opposite of the delusions you post constantly we’d all be pretty close to the truth.
jordanlundRemoved, civility.
Ok, but can something be done about the rule 6 (misinformation) violations that user commits on the regular? Was that comment not misinformation?
Probably, but the civility violation was definite. ;)
Could I say something is a conspiracy theory and tell a person I don’t think they are not behaving honestly or in good faith? I can chill on the phrasing but the idea of someone reading stuff like that and taking it seriously is frustrating.
I probably don’t have to worry about people on Lemmy, I guess. Reddit and 4chan are more the engines of radicalization. IDK I am frustrated with the massive misinformation pushed on society in general. I wish I could do something about it but I probably cannot. So it feels a bit hopeless.
It gets tricky because someone can just be misinformed and not realize what they’re spreading is misinformation vs actively and maliciously spreading propaganda.
I tend to lean on assuming someone is just wrong and correctable vs. malicious unless proven otherwise, but maybe that’s my flaw as a mod. :) I WANT to believe people are engaging honestly.

Why Georgia’s government thinks it can scorn the EU and keep its grip on power - Lemmy.World
Some 80 percent of Georgians want to join the EU, which begs the question of why the ruling party feels so secure. Eighty percent of Georgians want to join the European Union, so how can the government be so confident it will hold onto power by spurning Brussels and seemingly deliberately torpedoing the nation’s EU prospects? That’s the political paradox at the heart of the crisis gripping the country. In a sharp slap in the face to the EU, the ruling Georgian Dream party has passed Russian-style legislation that Brussels fears could be used to label media, think-tanks and NGOs with even a drop of Western funding as “foreign agents,” crimping freedom of speech. The EU is making clear this legislation means membership is effectively off the cards, and the authorities used water cannon and pepper spray against thousands of protesters [https://www.politico.eu/article/georgia-foreign-agent-law-protests-georgian-dream-party/]demonstrating against it outside parliament on Wednesday night.
