The internet has a misinformation problem. Articles spread without scrutiny, videos mislead millions before anyone pushes back, and social media posts get shared faster than they can be fact-checked. Sources is a small attempt to fix that — a space where anyone can flag potentially false or misleading content, write a critique, and let others weigh in.
The idea is simple: the more eyes on bad information, the harder it is for it to go unchallenged.
To see all available commands related to this feature, type: sources
To view a source that’s already been added — along with all critiques written about it — run: source <url>
You’ll see a list of critiques submitted by other users. Each entry shows a short preview and the author’s name at the bottom, labeled by: — for example, by: james.
If you come across something online that you believe is false, misleading, or worth scrutinizing, you can add it:
add-source <url>
The URL should point directly to the article, video, post, or page in question — for example: https://example.com/article. Once added, it becomes visible to everyone and open for critique.
To add a comment to any source — whether you added it or someone else did — run: comment-on <url>
You’ll be prompted to write your critique. The editor supports Markdown, so you can use headings, bold text, links, lists, and more to make your argument clear and readable.
Note: The Markdown editor is only available on desktop. On mobile, you can still submit plain text.
The source view shows previews. To read a critique in full:
c383b3d4-7fca-4e7c-8166-1ced1938f1b9comment <id>You’ll get the full text of that critique.
If a critique is well-researched, clearly written, or genuinely informative, you can support its author directly. Find their name at the bottom of the critique (e.g. by: james) and run:
donate <name>
It’s a small way to reward people doing the work of keeping information honest.
