Lesson learned.
I will add, that I see lots of people posting claims on Mastodon which on reflex I agree with and am tempted to pass along. However, if it is something I have not seen other information on, I will check it out myself. That way I am not unintentionally spreading misinformation.
The right has made a meal out of posting lies and spreading unfounded fear knowing that their base will not verify their claims. I think those of us on the other side, should strive to be better.

I think those of us on the other side, should strive to be better. Couldn't agree more with this. If we're going to fight ignorance, we can't fight it with more ignorance. There are plenty of real terrible things happening for us to be upset about. We should be careful we're not making up fake terrible things to be mad about at well. @Herndonite@mastodon.online @Viss@mastodon.social
