It indeed remains to be seen. Perhaps one day someone figures it out.
I do think the incentive now is too much such that the silent majority can't stop nonsense (in their eyes) from spreading. Unless you speak up, the default is for the spreader to receive likes, sats and reposts from the subset who agrees.
To some extend that happens in a bar too in that people will avoid confrontation. But there's a bit more signal in the form of blank stares. Maybe fact checking isn't the right way to address this though.
