We’re pretty much all strangers online, correct?

If something is posted that is provably false, it is provably false. It doesn’t matter if the poster regularly posts accurate things about another subject. The post would still be provably false, even if the poster was normally truthful about barley.

Imo, if someone wants to be seen as honest, the onus is on them to act honestly. If you act in a way that’s dishonest, people will likely acknowledge that you’re acting in a way that’s dishonest. If their only experience of you is through you being dishonest, it only makes sense that they’ll think that you’re dishonest.

No one is owed being considered as an honest and trustworthy person. If you do lie, you should expect the people who you lied to to no longer trust you. Why would they? That’s not a reasonable expectation to have.

Being considered as an honest person is one of those things that you kind of have to do to earn. If you act dishonestly, it would be silly to expect other people to still consider you as an honest person. You don’t get to mislead people and then become upset when they don’t believe you anymore. That isn’t rational.

It’s pretty easy to avoid being labaled as a liar online, tbh. Verify your stuff before you post it. Don’t double down against solid evidence, especially without any of your own. Don’t make stuff up. Accept and acknowledge that you can be wrong sometimes, and strive for the correct answer instead of the one that “wins” the argument for you.

Misinformation is dangerous, and it deserves to be called out. Misinformation can cause a lot more harm than someone occasionally being called a “liar” online by a random stranger.

I would also argue that most people probably haven’t really had problems with being called a “liar” online.

If the misinformation is about how many seeds an orange has, people probably won’t care too much, as it doesn’t really cause a lot of harm. That type of misinformation usually just gets passively corrected.

If the misinformation ends with someone else suffering, it will likely get called out harshly, and probably deservedly so.

I don’t know what’s happened to cause you to dislike people being called liars to this extent, but there is a good reason for people doing that sometimes. I’m not going to stalk your page or comments, so idk where you personally fall on that. Calling someone a “liar” is similar to calling someone “dishonest”.

Horse armor.

I don’t think I did that anywhere, thanks. I use jerboa.

The behaviour is similar to what you find there.

I see more aspects of reddit have made it here. great.

To be honest, it really doesn’t bother me either way

This comment section is killing me lmao.

You have people saying that language is fluid, and that one person cannot decide which pronunciation is correct. Then, in that same comment, they say that their preferred pronunciation is obviously correct.

Hard g, soft g, you do you. It really doesn’t change much.

Oh, I wasn’t trying to say that that would be the official name. I think lot of people would probably call it that just because we use that style of description for other platforms.

If someone somehow wasn’t familiar with xvideos, they would definitely be suprised lol.

I was kind of wondering how long it would be until something like this happened.

When we talk about something we watched on Facebook, most people would call it a Facebook video.

When talking about something we watch on YouTube, people usually call it a YouTube video.

It’s probably only be a matter of time until someone tries to find a (formerly twitter) video and ends up on xvideos instead. I could totally see a lot of non-tech-friendly people accidentally doing that, and then telling all of their friends/family that (formerly twitter) is now just full of nudity and porn.
