As I understand it, Twitter has something called Community Notes. So people can write things, but it can potentially have an attached refutation.

Community notes is better than nothing, but they only relate to a single tweet. So if one tweet with misinformation gets 100k likes, then a community note might show up correcting it.

But if 100 tweets each get 1000 likes, they're never singularly important enough to community note.

Fair enough on that. The problem I've seen (and don't have a good idea for how to fix) is on Reddit where the most terminally online are the worst offenders and they simply drown out everything else until non-crazy people just leave. It doesn't help that the subreddit mods are disproportionately also the terminally online.
