MODERATORS
 

It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

I dont think I've hardly ever seen someone asking for sources on obvious truths or pretend a source is lying. They just say Nuh uh or Cuss out

I have, however, seen a LOT of people claim shit that isn't true at all and try to pass it off as basic fact, and

I've seen even more people post sources that don't actually say what they're trying to prove.

And i dont think this is really the point of the Google it conversation
