Thats great, but did they actually prevent spread is the question to ask. We can start out with the hypothesis that they do work, then we need to actually confirm if that is true.

That people can still type in these word salads in 2024 is beyond me. Real actual scientists all over the world have answered these questions years ago. Stop asking Facebook for answers. Try Google

So you think that google is unbiased?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. Google helps you search the web. It's up to you to look for trustworthy sources but that's not too hard. Just sticking to Wikipedia is fine most of the time.

But that involves reading and this may prove challenging to some.

Facebook is a cesspool.

Is Lemmy and Reddit not cesspools?

Only if the people using it are making it into one. I am looking at no one in particular...

Answering everything with a question isn't as smart as you think.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So wouldnt that apply to facebook also? And question are a good way of clarifying things, and pointing out flaws in people ideas. I also dont want to be smarter than anyone because that is not really controllable, I want to be wiser and more accurate in what I believe.
