Vent: Asking for proof on every shared story kills the vibe in chat groups

I know some people say it's key to stop fake news from going around. But when you question every little thing someone says, it makes folks not want to talk at all. It turns a chill hangout into a tense quiz session. Do you think this habit helps or hurts online talks?

Feels like we're fact-checking each other's lives now, like lunam91 said.

Remember when my friend shared a funny story about his cat and someone asked for a vet's note?

Ugh, do you ever feel like you're walking on eggshells before you even hit send? I totally get where you're coming from. It makes sharing anything feel like a chore, like you have to have a full case file ready to go. Sometimes people just want to talk, not defend their words in a court of law. That constant doubt really does suck the fun right out of a group chat.
