It may be helpful to know that the former r/zfs community has migrated to a Discourse server at practicalzfs.com. Might be worth asking there for some expert advice.

I tried posting there, but the mods haven’t been there in a couple of days to approve my post. I tried posting on reddit but since reddit is a garbage website that noone should ever visit, I was immediately shadowbanned and noone has seen my posts.

Thanks for your post.

Take a topic that you know. Something related to your field of work, or your special interest, whatever. Now watch a news video about that topic and notice how laughably wrong they get even basic details. Most people can relate to how wrong the media gets on a topic they’re intimately familiar with but then also think they get topics right when talking about other things like world affairs.
