          I briefly used it. It connects you to all of your neighbors. It’s good for knowing what’s going on in your community.

            Also good for finding out how many racists live near you.

        Nextdoor? Is misinformation really being spread on a physical community app? “We had a package thief last week. I know they’re tied to Hunter Biden and the Democrats! MAGA 2024!!!”

      I mean, someone needs to engage with the bots on that platform and he’s certainly not going to pay someone else to do it.

    Twitter has always been the platform of smooth brains. It’s not surprising it is all full of shit.

      Twitter could be a very different experience depending on who you followed. That’s not the case anymore.

      I watched a recent clip of Musk from the Rogan podcast. He was asked if regrets buying it. He felt it was his duty in a way as it was run by extreme left wing types that banned everything from less extreme left wing through the center to the far right. Musk said they were censoring a lot of right wing views. He said when you are that far left anything including regular left is too far right for moderation.

      It seems like they have abandoned most moderation now expect for the things he doesn’t like. It’s not free speech for all like they claim.

      I’m fine with him moderating his social media platform the way he likes since he bought it, but don’t claim its totally free speech and then do what he has been doing. I’m not a fan of the misinformation being shared there either but I don’t expect them to be as good of a resource for open and free information anyways. There’s plenty of other places for that, which are not governed by social media reaction metrics.

    noncredible take: musk is a us gov sock puppet and if x is like this then its because that allowes 3 letter agencys to lure certein ppl in security to speak so they can be tracked better.

      This would be plausible if there weren’t so many examples of the FBI utterly failing to pick up on strings of red flags on social media.

          Why should it be acceptable for them to spy on everyone if they’re not even going to successfully catch people who openly declare they will be violent, for days before the event? When people called the FBI to inform them the person might do something, the FBI responded with, “they’re already on a list”.

          Yea… no. If they aren’t catching ALL of the blatantly obvious ones … fuck them. You don’t get to run the show and then shit the bed.
