I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    Agree with you here. It’s wild that asking for sources is seen as shutting a discussion down. It’s literally opening the discussion wider - unless the other side wants to take it as some kind of attack.

      Was it a bad idea for there to be mass defederation of the MAGA instance? Not asking because I support that viewpoint (like most Canadians I am very anti-MAGA) but I wonder if it would have reduced the echo-chamber effects you’re describing
