    Simply leaves social media, or believe nothing on it.

    Academic books by experrs, peer-reviewed papers etc. are better.

    Wikipedia and podcast/interviews with real experts (not pundits, I mean experts) are good too.

      I’m only on Lemmy, but I don’t think my individual decision will make a difference—and unfortunately, I don’t think anyone should realistically expect it to.

      I think anyone who is already here has recognized the problem.

      Wikipedia and podcast/interviews

      If you’re want to know how misinformation got so prominent, look at this as a good start.
