But about half of those posts are wrong, or misinformation.

Seriously, go into any somewhat popular Reddit thread on a subject you are familiar with. There will be multiple highly upvoted parent comments going into great detail on the subject, and they will be completely wrong about all of it.

That’s also true of lemmy, the entire internet isn’t peer reviewed. I’ve personally begun reading more printed books after realizing how stupid and self assured the average internet person is. Myself included.
