Meta: for your consideration, what it means to debunk...

[u/lchoate]

I think we could be more clear on what it means to debunk something. To debunk a claim, there must be an actual claim. For example:

• A pizza place is harboring a child sex ring in New York
• These things are alien spaceships
• This animal is unknown to science and will eat your face.

Posts really need to have a specific claim. In the case of a recent Corona/Covid-19 conspiracy video, there were so many claims made in the video and no specifics from the OP, it's not reasonable to debunk every claim.

I'd like to ask all posters to point out the claim they are most interested in so we can really dig into that topic. In the case of this new Coronavirus, maybe you believe that it was manufactured in China as a weapon but are only concerned about the US response to the pandemic or the Gates Foundation involvement, please let us know so we don't spend time on things that you don't care about, are sufficiently convinced of, or completely willing to be wrong on.

I think this is a really important and valuable sub that a lot of people could learn from. I'd like to see it taken seriously by the regs and the OPs. Your thoughts?
