A daily mail (yes, the "trustworthy" daily mail) have leaked bodycam footage of George Floyd's execution and the posts are filled with reactionaries and outright Nazis now. Just avoid reddit for today, it's not worth it.

It happens on reddit over the most trivial kind of shit as well. Whenever a subject comes up that you're even mildly acquainted with there will be someone near the top stating something that is just blatantly untrue, and people will believe them because they do it confidently. This is incredibly easy to game if you want to push opinions, as seen in this case. People won't investigate further, they'll look at the headline and the first post that seems like it knows what it is talking about and dip out. Once something starts to get pushed to the top, the only way to correct it is either by a moderator or the user themselves.
This is so true. As someone that's studying computer science the way redditors think programming and games work is just plain wrong on a lot of occasions. Check out r/ps5 or r/Xbox or r/pcmasterrace for blatant lies if you know anything about systems design. Also, as a very good player in a certain video game (gran turismo, I've been playing it for almost my entire life), the amount of incorrect information on the gran turismo subreddit is also huge. It's just everything is some half truth imo.
