Lemmy Find Facts
Lemmy Find Facts
!lemmy_check@lemmy.world
You can
- share a fact or question, maybe a random number or statistic, or some statement, that you can not find sources for (maybe you want to cite it in a research article, or for a very important debate with someone online), and other lemmings will verify
- post a question that you can not answer
- share someone else’s work, which serves as example for future fact checkers, you may call them as case studies.
This community also serves as a “Do the Maths” community or “<Insert specialist> explainer”
Original idea @kibiz0r@midwest.social
Rules
I really don’t want to police anyone.
- Standard Internet Rules - Be civil and polite, and avoid strong language
- Cite your sources - If you use a fact or some number, please cite your sources. As a general rule of thumb, please post citations for all things you believe that an average person does not know, and over citation never not helps. Please try to avoid secondary (or tertiary) sources, that is cite the primary source for your information. Please avoid citing some mediahouse or editorial coverage.
- Please try to keep this community non-political. Please don’t post statements of some political figure and ask if they really said it or not, that is an investigator’s job. But feasibility, and impact of their (proposed) projects is fair game.
