We need ways to counter them. If nobody counters when they warn about whatever made up junk they have someone else will believe them.

Arguably best way to counter misinformation is non-platforming it. Mere provable facts and impeccable logic have a dogshit success rate.
The problem is other platforms exist. not jst social media, but daycare dropoff or coffee shops.
Then what’s your counter?
I wish I knew. So far I haven’t seen one that works. It is despirataly needed.
