Wouldnt someone need to be hosting a ton of exit nodes for that to work?

Barely moves the dial

Its always money. Sounds like youre doing your best, hope he can see eventually whats going on.

As an anecdote, which I wouldnt necessarily recommend following: my father was pretty staunchly against meat substitutes in general. Well it turns out one of his favorite meals, lasgna, my mom had replaced the beef with soy-sub like 10 years ago lol. Dude loves it, she finally got tired of his comments and told him while he had a big mouthful. Hasnt said anything since and now he will eat tofu etc. I dont really endorse deception but it seems to have worked in this case lol

Great question, dont know the answer. Just didnt want you to feel like no one responds to this post either lol. I think generally like 90% of people are lurkers, so if you have 450 subs theres only like 45 people who are posters and even smaller subset post regularly. Of those, subset again and you have poeple who'll post on your community. My guess is it will take a while but youre doing really good imo, the larger the community the more likely people are to sub and the bigger your subsets get. Keep it up! Whats your community?

Three factors that can lead people to believe misinformation are: seeing patterns where none exist, people who strongly trust their intuition/gut reaction, and being ostracized. My advice would be to not belittle their beliefs, try to engage with them and ask how theyve come to believe such things and if there is an opening to tactfully direct them to other information or interpretations of the same information do that.
