I hope that Community Notes made an appearance at the end of that ranty thread

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

It might if people were over there writing and rating them. 🤣

All engagement on Twitter profits fascism. No engagement, no advertising revenue.

cadystat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah I’m not sure how much it matters when they will just create a conspiracy theory around it and not believe it anyways. I say bankrupting the app is probably more effective.

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep. Keeping money out of fascist pockets should be a priority.

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

The platform is hemorrhaging money and operating at a loss. He’s restructured it under SpaceX so it won’t be tied to Tesla loans. He will never sell it in his lifetime. We can’t ignore it. Biggest mistake for people to leave when he bought it, and after the election. It makes their lies stronger.

cadystat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well the truth is that major content creators are still dependent on it and have not left. Until that happens it will continue to exists. If creators left, and we only had an army of people engaging to fact check, then it might make sense, but that isn’t what happened. Staying around justifies it.

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

I haven’t left because I refuse to concede ground to them, and I will continue to do everything in my power to combat their lies. We’re changing precisely zero minds here in an echo chamber.

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•2 days ago

TBF, how many minds is anyone changing on Twitter?

Not knowing what kind of conversations people have outside of Bluesky, regarding things they learned on Bluesky, makes assessing its impact immeasurable. Same for Twitter.

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•2 days ago

Imagine how much more trouble it would be in if people who oppose fascism stopped bolstering engagement. I’m not saying there’s no merit to taking the fight to them, I’m just acknowledging the implications and consequences of that strategy.

Any converts? Thoughtful conversations? Explanations excepted. Facts agreed upon? Then, it is totally worth it.

formulafan2025.bsky.social•2 days ago

lol we couldve seen this coming when JD vance had a problem with fact checking in a debate.

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

🤣

locksmithprime.bsky.social•2 days ago

If no one checks facts, then the facts become truth. What is the issue here?
It is pretty much in line with "stop testing and covid goes away."

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

We need to stop the lies from becoming truth, faster. And we can’t do that without people engaged in Community Notes.

locksmithprime.bsky.social•2 days ago

True, but it also requires a movement towards intelligence and reason as actual good qualities, instead of the pursuit of stupidity and a jejune life that has become the American society. We need to stop conflating bravado with competence and cruelty with strength.

noblebirth.bsky.social•2 days ago

Do you know of anyone who is publishing a list of the community notes that we should file or support? After being on Twitter for 15 years, I gave it up after the election. I have no interest in wading through the hate and propaganda on my own. Happy to support others though.

themossygreen.bsky.social•2 days ago

Can anyone who's on twitter participate? I'm no longer on twitter, but I do love fact-checking MAGA.

baxie71.bsky.social•2 days ago

I tried to stay on Twitter after the election, but I just couldn't take the toxicity. Plus Space Karen kept permanently banning my accounts for nothing.

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

Create one for the sole purpose of CNs then.

baxie71.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, it's bad for my anxiety though.

gclaymitchell4th.bsky.social•2 days ago

I can only imagine.

I was permanently downgraded for sarcasm. No matter how much work I do, I could never reach the threshold to start making community notes again. YET... some folks had much lower ratings than I allowed to make community notes.

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

Focus on rating them so they show up on the posts, which is just as important.

MAGA 101: Facts don’t matter - only the talking points do

synthetiqueflesh.bsky.social•2 days ago

Even when presented with the truth these MAGA folks will not believe a Community Note, they won't believe a factual news article or reference. These people have faith, faith in Trump, faith in Fox News and Right Wing influencers. They're brainwashed and in a cult. Being on X is a waste of time.

cherylmoshiri.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sorry I dumped that propaganda source as soon on as Elon bought it, everyone knew what would happen- countering it does nothing to change the minds of the cult

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

It will if the notes appear sooner. That’s the problem. Not enough people rating them so they show up on posts.

cherylmoshiri.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sorry, you have more faith that they’ll accept facts alternate to what they want to believe. I sincerely doubt it.

remainingjedi19.bsky.social•2 days ago

Twitter is just a cesspool of inbreds, predators and rightwing nutjobs. Any sane or self respecting person has deactivated their accounts LONG AGO!

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

Guess I’m insane and don’t have any self-respect. Again, I’ll die on the hill that we need more people engaged in Community Notes.

mfriedmannola.bsky.social•2 days ago

They need to get out more, and stop being terminally on line.

sf4womensrights.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agee wholeheartedly!

artcandee.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s a self-inflicted wound for people not to be doing it.

starlightblue24.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep, that’s the only reason I stay on there.
