Linking to sources, that is a big one. Even something as honest as “I read it off this Wikipedia page [link]” goes a long way in showing that the poster is not pulling an idea out of their ass.
I will always prefer having debates where both sides cite their information, even if there isn’t a satisfying agreement at the end. Plus, faulty sources can be debunked when more eyes are able to scrutinize it.

On the opposite end of the spectrum:
“I put it into chatGPT and it said George Soros is funding ISIS to raid Epstein Island.”
Still more credibility if you cite it rather than copy+paste XD
(And we can laugh at the poster who decided that was a valid source)
