Genuinely baffled by the unempirical assertion that Community Notes “works.” Does it? How do Meta know? The best available research is pretty mixed on this point.
And as they go all-in on an unproven concept, will Meta commit to publicly releasing data so people can actually study this?

I continue to be disappointed that the only major platform to have some sort of de-amplifying mechanism is reddit -- even bluesky didn't do it https://bsky.app/profile/mickeykats.bsky.social/post/3ktm6mub2oc2x

Stop it. We've seen absolutely nothing work on X.
If one's goal is mass chaos whilst losing value and investment in record time and being inexplicably and unnecessarily unkind then that little X venture has indeed been a smashing success.
No, unfortunately. In his video Zuckerberg said "Europe has an ever increasing number of laws institutionalising censorship" in reference to #DSA, our best hope for transparency. He will work with Trump to "push back".
Preemptive obedience, rolling over and submitting.
What a pathetic human being.
Snark aside, good questions!

What is stopping you from posting crap that ain’t facts
#WTYS
It works well for Musk because he only wants his personal opinions controlling content, and he is a perverted ketamine-fueled narcissist.
That's what they mean. That's what it's about. That's why Twitter did it. That's why they want to follow suit.
It's got nothing to do with effectiveness but whether they can get away without moderating.
Who gets to decide who a trusted source is?
1. My friends are on there, I like knowing what they're up to. There isn't a good alternate (yet)
2. There's genuinely good content, particularly on IG, that I wouldn't see otherwise
3. Habit
But that's not enough.
"post with a bunch of slurs"
[Community note: Calling people a *slur* is bad.]
My modest take on it at least.
When Facebook fact checks something, however accurate and well meaning, it gives the lie a megaphone.
#postAPI
You mean "less rooted in actual facts and biased towards misinformation"
“Yeah!”
“Unless we determine that correcting that speech develops a bias!”
“Ye- what?”
cult leaders don't like guardrails
They could mean that X has shown people engage with it / it tends to add missing context / it's user-friendly / etc
They do then say what they "think" it'll do
Let me read that 500 character community note and visit 5 links and read through them on a disinfo reel I just watched for 15 seconds among the 40 other reels I scrolled through on a toilet.
