If this democracy is dying, it doesn't speak particularly well of the virtues of democracy.
We had truth. It's still there, readily accessible. We got here despite that.

If you have a massive ecosystem dedicated to churning out un-truths and it can crowd out truth, then the truthiness hardly matters… in the near term at least.
In the long run, truth-seeking systems work better because it’s hard to operate effectively without it. Which I suspect we’ll re-learn in a few short months.
It's a damn shame that the only sizable social network that brands itself on veracity is Truth Social.
I don't think so. I value credibility, and I'm not alone. You care about what's true, right? Almost everyone does. It's just really damn hard to figure it out. If we actually want to fix things, our job is to make that easier.
