Could stop at “twitter ranks worst” and it would be just fine

Sure but c/climate is for talking about climate, and so "twitter is the worst place to get medical advice" or something would be off topic.

Should it be said “best in misinformation” if it has it the most?

I think it would be "best in disinformation" because the "goal" is to spread false information.
Misinformation is unintentional, so i think it would be "worst" because the goal is not to spread false information.

Not surprised when musk owns Tesla: a fake solution to climate change

Facebook probably has so much misinfo but it's not being spewed by prominent people so it doesn't rise to everyone's feeds.
Reddit mods are so ban heavy you can't even be correct on a controversial topic without being banned.
I don't think any of the other sites allow talk of controversial topics. So it's expected to me that Twitter would have a lot of misinfo.

Not sure if this applies to climate too, but past looks at misinformation on Facebook on other topics have found that almost all of it comes from a small number of accounts
