    Even if they’re both wrong, aren’t they also both opinions? People can have (an express) opinions that are factually wrong. I think the community should just downvote those kinds of posts instead of them being removed by mods.

      An opinion that is just a factually wrong idea isn’t an opinion, it’s just a false belief that something is true

      Actual untruths should be removed by mods, they only serve to trick the uninformed into believing false shit. Down votes mean very little, many times someone who’s 100% factually right gets down voted because the community just doesn’t like what was said

          Oh no, I was slightly wrong about something because I generalized whats true of my part of the US (per my doctor), what ever will I do?

          That comment could be removed for misinformation for all I care, this isn’t some gotcha

              I don’t care either way, actually, as my consent isn’t required for them to remove it.

              Hell, imma leave it up in the hopes more weirdos like you comment on other threads about it so I can have a lil chuckle

                  I was gonna reply sincerely but I can see form a closer inspection of your profile and random edits that you’re unhinged

                  Gonna mark you as such and proceed to laugh as you continue your little schizo moments, have fun out there and keep it entertainig for us!

        Yeah but I’d rather not have the mods remove anything - it’s the ol’ “how do we fact check the fact checkers” conundrum.

        One instance of an object or subject, can be viewed completely differently relative to your position in space and time. The observations of how something is functioning can be completely different from one observer to another, yet they can both be correct at the same time.

        So how exactly do you tell the truths from the untruths without proving intentional manipulation in the first place?
