This problem is hardly an issue on this platform.

And this is the problem.

I see objectively misleading, clickbait headlines and articles from bad (eg not recommended by Wikipedia) sources float to the top of Lemmy all the time.

I call them out, but it seems mods are uninterested in enforcing more strict information hygiene.

Step 1 is teaching journalism and social media hygiene as a dedicated class in school, or on social media… And, well, the US is kinda past that being possible :/.

There might be hope for the rest of the world.
