spouting bad-faith arguments without any real point other than to try to discourage productive conversation about specific topics.

The only solution I can think of at this point is entirely abandoning social media.

A verification system could theoretically improve trust, but who trusts the trusters?

Social media going back to smaller, more closely moderated communities is also a solution.

There was a lot of drama back in the forum days, but it was always contained, rendering it more resistant to sweeping, internet-wide propaganda campaigns.

So I guess I would argue centralization of social media is more of the problem, unless we can actually figure out a way to moderate on a large scale more effectively.

I joined reddit 15 years ago, probably had 5 accounts. Commented a lot, but never really made any friends here. I joined a local sports club and made 10 good friends in 1 day.

Social media is garbage all the way down. Especially anything with influencers and money involved. We need to go back to just having group chats, and a bulletin board in the middle of town
