    well lets see if the EU goes along with that change or if they even dare to roll it out here - twitter is already in hot water regarding the lack of moderation and rampant disinformation, adopting that trash model will not help at all.

    Provided by the same communities that post stuff about flat earth, mole children, and election fraud.

        It’s broad consensus that’s featured there, so it manufactures consent less hard, and more importantly, the fact-check appears attaches to the original misinfo, so it gets reshared with it.

            I think you and the person you’re responding to both have a point. They’re totally passing the buck to their users, but their users will probably be better at putting accurate information than they are. It’s a different set of problems to be sure, but I think it’s a preferable one

              “they” (Meta) was not the one fact-checking, it was a 3rd party service. And I don’t know why you assume a social media user base would be better at it, especially with highly politicized things like climate change, vaccines, wars, etc.

                They think that because community notes are actually fairly good on Twitter. You’d think that they wouldn’t be, but somehow the extremist idiots don’t seem to be able to outshout the sensible majority.

                Just go on YouTube and search for community notes.

                  “fairly good” or not, the question is, is it better than a 3rd party service like the one Meta was using.

            Lol this is the whole idea of the social networks - outsourcing of the work to the users (or “useds” as Stallman calls them). This used to be called “web 2.0”. In other news, this also highlights one of the shortcomings behind the idea of democracy.

            Indeed. People are going to have to work hard to constantly be tackling misinformation like on X.

            However it does present an opportunity. Perhaps a taste of their own medicine…

            Post misinformation about the CEOs and the like, like I’ve seen a few articles recently about Zucc having sexual issues. Community notes could say it’s true if there’s enough votes or submissions or whatever 🤣

            Or like https://lemmy.world/post/24021828

            If it’s about the CEOs we can digitally “luigi” them

            I have literally not seen a bad community note on twitter. Which isn’t to say they don’t exist, clearly you just see different posts from me. Though ime overall they seem to work better than the sorry excuse for moderation twitter had before, and it’s pretty much the only change that piece of shit made that I consider positive. Well that and likes not being public.

    In before it’s exposed that all the community notes are generated by AI accounts. It’s like misinformation theatre.

    If before I was born people invented fully cyborg replicants then hid the fact by programming the replicants to spread misinformation about their existence, I wouldn’t even be surprised at this point.

    Biggest flaw to this would be:

    I get why youd keep the sex slaves around. I’d maybe get why you keep around the beautiful people. Smart people, physically fit people, talented people, etc. But why the fuck haven’t I been culled yet? The only reasonable answer might be I’m in some fucked up Truman show, but man, these ancients taste in reality TV is fucking stupid. I’d even say genetic diversity, maybe, but I’m childless and I’m not getting younger.

    I’m starting to think that 1A speech Trump posted out via RFK on YT, the one with the giant green crayon subtitles, was a directive list for his oligarchs, not really intended for mass consumption, just them and the legislators who worship at his altar.

      Frankly, they might be idiots, they might be anti-vaxxers, they might be flat-earthers from anything, they might be fascists.

      But if what they are starting with is removing mechanisms and not putting new ones, and removing those that sucked anyway, - then maybe a tree is known by its fruit.
