I definitely just ignore or block “durr prove it” types.

Nah I’m not going to waste my time and energy compiling sources and whatnot just for some asshole to go “nuh uh fake news LuLuLuLuLuLz”

You don’t do that for the poster. You do that for other readers.

When someone makes a completely stupid comment, like “Drink bleach to kill viruses,” I won’t go and reply “no you wrong!” I’ll reply “For anyone reading, that’s a dangerous advice and here’s why [citations].” I don’t care if the poster then replies with “nuh uh, fake nooz.”

(I didn’t downvote you, by the way.)
