Lol snopes is one of Facebook and IG's "Fact checkers" and they routinely provide some of the worst analysis and fact checks out there. They twist themselves into a pretzel constantly admitting the "fact" is mostly true but still give it a false rating cause of some extremely inconsequential tidbit
On hexbear it generally seems to be new accounts to strawman bad take positions to roll the group mind back toward some goal; but being general leftists we can't fucking agree on anything, so I don't know how effective it has been.
I guess it depends on what we want this community to be.
From a purely practical standpoint, banning everyone who disagrees is good for cohesion and decision-making towards common goals, but it’s bad for growth and identifying ingrown problems.
All established social media platforms are solved problems when it comes to manufacturing consent.

It seems like we're better on agreeing on stuff than right wingers, to be honest.
That's because everyone who disagrees gets banned
I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not
