I feel like this is the right channel to have this discussion. @mazmhussain do you think we'll be able to find a solution to the "post-truth" situation we're in? I thought about it when I saw your cast about the meme with the UFOs, saying that ppl didn't even care when NSA confirmed UFOs are real, because they're bombarded with information. I feel like the problem is not so much the "volume" than the "quality". We went from a state where "I saw it on TV= it's true" to "I don't trust anything I see/hear by default". Related to that, we seem to have internalized the fact that objectivity/neutrality doesn't exist, there's only partisan opinions. Even if there's some truth to it, I feel like it's a slippery slope, because it tends to put in the same bag journalists who, while having opinions, aim at neutrality, and journalist who don't care at all and go for full bias. It's a small nuance, but a very important one imo. Happy to hear ppl's thoughts on this, and be pointed to thinkers who went over this matter.

Community notes are a pretty good tool but maybe not powerful enough to overcome the phenomenon totally. I guess there will always be some of it around. Its a back and forth counter measure situation.

Community notes are an interesting concept indeed, but it's inoperative imho, because now you have enough ppl on each side of the story to join hands and fabricate community notes that feed into their narratives. Community are a signal for "the original tweet is inacurate", but sometimes the content of the community note addresses a small detail of the original tweet, which doesn't render its substance inacurate, just this specific part. So it can be very misleading.
