    i read on facebook that mark zuckerberg was a convicted paedophile. it must be true because there was no fact check.

    “Community notes”

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

    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.

    Fb guy went to see twitter guy, who is the US president, at an old diaper rapist’s fake white house. Then FB guy publicly gave diaper rapist $1,000,000 in protection money and changed fb fundamentally to incorporate a prominent Twitter feature.

    They didn’t remove misinformation before anyway. After the hurricane devastated the Smokie mtns FB was full of idiots claiming fema was buying land for a private mining company, the storm was manmade, etc.

      Community notes are an actually good feature of Twitter.

      they’re really not; they’re just a way to harass marginalized people.

        That’s not true, why do you lie? The community notes I have seen are very reasonable and are not used to harass people but rather to correct lies or misleading information

          try existing as a trans person online. community notes only works when your userbase isn’t majority nazis. also it’s not a substitute for ACTUAL moderation.

            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.

          Instead the “community” can brigade the “verification” and create an even louder echo chamber.

            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’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.

    No one’s talking about it, not even here, but these guys are doing it.

      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.

      Admittedly I’m typing this from Moscow.

        Trump specifically said fact checking was wrong and an infringement on free speech.

          Yeah, while it’s not, referring to some authority telling you what’s right and what’s wrong is, in fact, not fact checking.

          You can’t trust humans to get such fundamental things right. The more important it is, the more they want to do something stupid.
