Fact or Fiction content taps into our natural curiosity and love of myth-busting. When presented with a bold statement, members are compelled to weigh in, share experiences, or challenge their assumptions. This format also makes it easy for less-active members to participate with a simple guess, while more engaged members can dive into deeper discussion.
For parenting communities, Fact or Fiction posts are especially powerful. Parenting advice is full of myths and conflicting information, so these posts help members separate fact from fiction together.
