The Open Question April 1: How do you decide what to trust? Right now, today, when you see a claim online or hear something from a friend or read a headline:

• What's your actual process? Do you have one? Do you mostly just feel it? Something else?
• When was the last time you changed your mind about a source you used to trust?
• How much does "who shared it" matter vs. "what the evidence says"?
• Is your trust process different for topics you care about vs. topics you don't?
• What topics do you most outsource your trust?

This one sits right at the center of what we're building here. I'm more curious about our observed, honest responses than our aspirational ones.

Meta is ending its fact-checking program in favor of a 'community notes' system similar to X. Maybe this is good for this platform making this kind of platform even more needed? 

"We're going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies and restoring free expression on our platforms," Zuckerberg said in a video. "More specifically, here's what we're going to do. First, we're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X, starting in the U.S."

"The reality is that this is a trade off. It means we're going to catch less bad stuff, but we'll also reduce the number of innocent people's posts and accounts that we accidentally take down."

What do y'all think?
