Allow me to correct your misinformation: BirdWatch, as it was previously known, existed before the transition. Elon’s only contribution was changing its name to something more boring. It is very likely that those who designed and implemented it no longer work there. https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2021/introducing-birdwatch-a-community-based-approach-to-misinformation https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2021/introduci...
- Dig1t 3y agoAh interesting, I did not know that. I was wrong about it existing before the transition. I was not a Twitter user before the transition and I don't know much about social media beyond X. I still think it is a good thing, I've seen many examples of its usage combating wrong or misleading things and the community note is often more important and more entertaining than the original tweet. Increasing its usage I think is a great thing for democracy. Side note: are all instances of being wrong considered misinformation? Can I start telling my wife that she's spreading misinformation every time she says something that isn't correct?
