Hey @RodionOm just to let you know that there is already an existing model rumor_mill that covers almost the concepts except the one you introduced the recovery rate. I would rather say could you make changes like network topology or anything or can contribute to the rumor_mill to improve the model

-- Summary
This PR adds a small Solara-based rumor spread example to 'mesa-examples'
.
The model places agents on a 2D toroidal grid. A configurable number of agents initially know a rumor. Informed agents may spread the rumor to neighboring agents, while a recovery mechanism allows agents to forget the rumor and return to the uninformed state.
-- Features
-- Behavior
The model demonstrates multiple regimes depending on parameter values:
-- Motivation
I built this example while preparing for GSoC and learning Mesa hands-on. I wanted to create a compact, reproducible model that demonstrates parameter-dependent rumor diffusion behavior in a way that is easy to run and inspect.
-- Notes
This model is intentionally simple and designed as an educational example rather than a realistic social diffusion simulator.
