Title: Fun New Facebook Game
Post by: Mrs. Gooch on December 01, 2017, 02:24:31 PM
I've started a fun new game using Facebook and I'd like to see if any of you want to join me.

Whenever I see someone post something that looks a little suspicious, I go online and do some fact checking. If I can find some actual facts that refute the post, I will make a comment letting them know that what they have posted is fake, along with a link.

Then, if they delete it I get 1 point. So far I have gotten 4 points.

Anyone want to play?

You know too many people from Coffeville for this to be fair.

I usually just unfollow those people so I am not a witness to their stupidity.  My sister in law is a prime example.

Only 2 of my points came from Coffeyville (actually 2 points on the same person).

I have considered that many times, but my hope is that maybe I influence their opinions just a tiny bit. Also, I value other opinions and don't want to find myself in an echo chamber via Facebook.

This is only for actual verifiable events; not conspiracy theories. Like, I can fact check whether that picture of Joe Biden groping a woman is real or photoshopped. I am not talking about giving people a bunch of climate change evidence to try to convince them it is real.

Can you help me make this into an actual game via Facebook? That would be great.

Never made a Facebook game before. Wouldn’t be that hard I don’t think.

Just so you know I am non-partisan; I did call out someone who posted that fake Donald trump quote about being an atheist. The poster apologized but didn't delete it so I didn't get a point. :(

I occasionally reply with "Well this isn't true at all" and leave it at that
