What is Don't Feed the Trolls?
A reference for recognising online manipulation tactics. Every factual claim on this site carries an exact supporting quote from a named source, and that quote is verified at build time to be a verbatim substring of a copy of the source archived when we published. A claim whose quote stops matching cannot be built, so the site cannot silently drift from its sources. That is a deliberately higher bar than checking that a citation link resolves. A working link proves a source exists; it does not prove the source says what the citing sentence claims it says, and that is the failure that actually misleads people.
