Reply to comment by WoNc in People who post stories marked false by Snopes on Reddit fall into five groups: Reason to Disagree, Changed Belief, Steadfast Non-Standard Belief, Sharing to Debunk, and Sharing for Humor. Reducing misinformation requires different approaches for each group. by asbruckman

Great question. Confident. The RD folks said things like “Snopes is biased,” and the PFB folks said things like “I see you have succumbed to the globalist conspiracy.”

SD was more like “this is self evidently ridiculous—can you believe people buy into garbage like this?” They didn’t say “this is false” because they believe that omg their readers know it’s false.
