To fight off the spooky scary skeletons

If short form media is twitter takes and 60 second shorts, I have learned to almost immediately dismiss them until supported by more evidence.

And there’s also commercial social media algorithms that take advantage of their extensive data hoarding to stagnate and dogmatize opinions.

Mostly it boils down to taking it slow and, depending on the medium, learning how to tell key signs.

Then I guess it’s mostly just experience and intuition, like learning how to pirate stuff safely online.

Thanks a bunch!

Interested in learning more about disinformation?

Sure, do you have something that’ll help me identify disinformation better?

No

Yes.

But still, there are also a ton of original IPs popping up everywhere. They don’t get as much coverage though, 'cause reboots of super popular IPs usually get more online attention.

That’s why reading mode exists, I use it all the time when I see sites as cluttered as this. Great feature.
