       @john @kirt@mastodon.social i said better ideas, not worse ones?but if you can think of something useful to do on those, and you have the time, then possibly yes.I suggested the video platforms because if someone already has an educational channel on YouTube they could have a big impact for fairly minimal effort by reposting the same content (or marking just minor quick edits, e.g. removing patreon credits outro)

       @john @kirt@mastodon.social but i don't think breaking the social relevance actually stops the firehose of falsehood? it just makes it more insular.and even if all the less dangerous people leave, it will still be bigger than any of the minor networks like parlor etc.moderating twitter is not a particularly high impact use of one's time, but rating a few community notes is something that can be done one handed on a phone in a few minutes here and there when there is nothing more useful to do.

       @john @kirt@mastodon.social facebook lets you report posts, but it works very differently. Facebook's reporting system is a deliberate black box, but i suspect reporting more posts gives each report less impact? if you have a few minutes to kill then seeking out facebook posts to report is probably a lot less useful than twitter community notes.if there is a better way to fight dangerous misinformation then i want to know so i can do that? especially if i can do that with one thumb while half asleep?

       @stux @kirt@mastodon.social you can just block him?though, i didn't because i suspect hitting "not interested" on every tweet might mean others see him less?

       @john @kirt@mastodon.social as someone looking at a mastodon notification from January… there are definitely less constructive things i could be doing?also, this conversation made me want to try and talk an assortment of my favourite science communicators into starting rumble channels…this might be like the time this concept made me quite scared of bananas? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose
