        I’d rather not leave people spreading disinformation unchallenged / unchecked. Someone else might read their comments and think that’s the right opinion to have.

            I rarely report people anymore, especially on communities that don’t even state any rules at all. I pretty much blocked all direct news communities due to them ignoring Tankies & disinformation within the comments, arguing they cannot fact check everything. And yes, I get that. But there’s been so much obvious ones that I cannot support moderation on this platform in good faith anymore. Especially when some mods end up threatening me with a ban for reporting people, since reports here are not anonymous.

          It’s technically not disinformation. Just a flawed conclusion. Politely pointing out alternative, more accurate, ways to look at it is the recommended method.
