Good job. Correcting twitter misinformation sounds like hell but it has way more of a discernible effect than five people in this topic series trying in vain to turn Corrik into a normal person.

Oh, it was awful. Eventually I came up with a few copy/pastes I could use for some of the most common lies and started to use those liberally. The one that had the most success was the part about people saying "Paul called David a friend!". So I would copy paste:

The quote:
He (Paul) doesn't know who the male (David) is. But he (David) advised that his name is David and he (David) is a friend (of Nancy) and was waiting there for her.

If you don't clarify the pronouns it makes it sound like Paul called David his friend, but he didn't.

And maybe half the time they would respond to acknowledge that they were just reading the quote wrong.

Didn't have nearly as much success explaining to people that DePape was no longer a "left-wing activist" or that Paul and David weren't simply engaged in intercourse (which came up an awful lot).

It's not the sort of experience I want to go through on a daily basis as I do not think it would be good for mental health, but it still felt good to roll up my sleeves and put the work in for several hours and actually see some tangible results. The shoutout from Hank is just unbelievable icing on the cake.
