    Yep. This is the primary thing preventing me from contributing to, and recommending Lemmy. People confidently posting and upvoting harmful misinformation, and toxic/unintelligent people. I’ve already left Reddit and Facebook (a long time ago) for similar reasons.

      Yeah, many people on Lemmy don’t even pretend to care about the truth. Of course someone can always create an instance or community with higher sourcing standards.
