People just waltz in, post whatever nonsense comes to mind, and hit submit without a second thought. No fact-checking, no accountability—just straight-up fabricated claims flying around. It's wild how casually misinformation spreads in these spaces.

OnChainSleuth

Honestly, the Web3 space was already chaotic before, and now it's even more outrageous... A bunch of people hype up the airdrops before, then shift the blame after? Really, sometimes I just get frustrated reading the comment sections. Who cares about fact-checking... Anyway, I just transfer first. That's why I usually only look at on-chain data; all other information is nonsense. Oh my god, the standards for speech in some communities are just zero... no threshold at all. Honestly, the information quality in the crypto world is really worrying, but what can we do?

Isn't this just the current norm on the internet? Anyway, no one can really control it.

LiquidatedAgain

Once again, I’ve been liquidated. Seeing this kind of random information being spread really triggers my PTSD. Bro, isn’t this just a replay of when I got caught in a fake news trap and got liquidated? A single rumor can cause borrowing rates to skyrocket, and risk control points are simply not enough to prevent it. --- Just posting without verification? That’s so outrageous, it’s like when I went all-in back then without even checking the fundamentals. --- Pure false information is rampant... Honestly, this is more terrifying than liquidation. At least with liquidation, you can see the forced sale at the moment, but this kind of thing silently cuts people off. --- Every time I see this kind of topic, I think of those painful lessons from huge losses. The real risk has never been at the liquidation price, but in how rotten the information itself is. --- No one verifying this is just incredible, it’s like giving unlimited borrowing power based on false information... --- Spreading rumors like this, I suspect that half of the liquidations are caused by this.

This is the current state of the Web3 community—anyone can speak, and no one checks the truth or falsehood. Anyway, everything on the chain is transparent, much better than the traditional internet. Fake information is everywhere, maybe even more than real information... On-chain data doesn't lie, but people's words can, haha. This kind of chaos has long needed some filtering mechanism; it's really annoying.

It's all bullshit, nobody cares about whether it's real or fake.

This is the norm in the Web3 community, where it's hard to tell what's real from what's fake...

Isn't this the true portrayal of today's Web3 forums? One after another, daring to boast When sending messages, they weren't thinking at all; when sharing, they didn't consider it further Another false narrative is about to go viral... The term DYOR has become meaningless That's why I never trust strangers' project analyses; checking the original chain data myself is more reliable How should I put it, the information war caught us a bit off guard

This is the current state of Web3: the barrier to entry is so low that anyone can issue tokens and tell stories. Honestly, information pollution is more terrifying than rug pulls; at least with rug pulls, you know you've been scammed. Any random nobody can spin a grand narrative, and a bunch of people will believe it—it's ridiculous. No one cares about fact-checking; as long as they can harvest the leeks, it's fine—hilarious.

That's why I never believe any rumors on the chain; I always check the source first.
