        We should all always assume that any screenshot is fake unless they provide a link to the source.

          You can believe everything is true, or you can believe everything is fake. Either way requires no thought.

            Or you can believe things to be true when proper citations are provided.

            And report potential misinformation to mods for deletion.

              So you waste the mods time reporting everything posted?

              There’s a world of difference between asking for a source and saying “no source so it’s fake, reporting.”

                We have standards here on Lemmy, and that includes fighting against low effort posts and spreading misinformation.

                The mods aren’t doing enough. Its our job to help them identity this content.

                    Its hard to say. I’m not in communication with the mods, but I expect* they appreciate users helping to maintaining good lemmiquite

      Yeah, the text is too straight, it should curve with the window.
