It's been better, but for about a year now it looks like a number of lost people have been roaming lemmy sowing confusion...plenty of users used to say this was a really welcoming environment, particularly before the reddit IPO/LLMs...
Depends on why people communicate on social media. The best communities are the ones where everyone understands what they are there to do without being told. It's not just because memeing communities are fun and technical communities are dull. Places like technology or worldnews generate friction because there are some people sharing/requesting info and people trying to relax/vent/troll/feel important/fight/dunk and that creates an expectation mismatch that leads to toxicity.
I don't think people need to enshrine anonymity absolutely to post crap daily for millions of followers. You could have an accreddited human poster who proves not only humanity, but also agrees to a few rules to maintain this credential. And then you could still have non-accredited posters who nobody vouched for, but everyone should instantly doubt and dismiss their big claims as shitposting.
This would also have to be state-provided, because states and citizens are the ones who lose the most with infowarfare, corporations don't care.
I saw one rumor where they uploaded a gibberish file for some reason. In another, there was a Windows update that shipped just before they uploaded their well-tested update. The first is easy to avoid with a checksum. The second...I'm not sure...maybe only allow the installation if the windows update versions match (checksum again) :D
I mean, lunar water exists...they just have to figure out if it flows when the moon faces the sun for 14 days at a time and gathers in these lava tunnels or stays in the form of beads
...but who knows if those stations will still work 10 years from now if he fires the whole charging team on a whim to prove a point?
