@lemmy.worldI think that there is a need here for the fact checking bot(I understand that a custom bot for health-related communities would be ideal, but even a general fact-checking bot is a step in the right direction).
Due to the sensitivity of the topics posted here,the fact checking bot could be very beneficial to remove the misinformation posts, which could be posted on the future.
The mod team could invite the bot that is used on the news communities.
What does the mod team here think?
