@semitones@tiny.tilde.website @futurebird@sauropods.win That's what social media and generative AI have done to people. Nobody bothers to actually research anything for themselves. They report as truth what somebody said on Facebook or what ChatGPT told them. It takes two minutes to read Lia Thomas's Wikipedia article, a few more minutes if you want to click through to the sources and learn even more. It's not hard to be well informed. But it's so damn easy to just repeat easy lies that support your bigotry.
