Looking for Grindavik news on X etc right now, there is already an annoying amount of video and images of erupting volcanoes, from previous years, or from somewhere else completely. Even though there is no eruption at all yet. Annoying.

- cdelsolar 3y agoIt's not a bizarre comment. "Freedom of speech" is used in this case ironically, as a metonymy for the site's drastically decreasing quality since it was acquired by someone who strongly advocated for it during the site's acquisition.

- haunter 3y agoAm I using a different Twitter? I only see local videos no "annoying amount of video and images of erupting volcanoes, from previous years, or from somewhere else completely"
- seizethegdgap 3y agoI was seeing a lot of what Scarblac said they were seeing, but looking right now at https://twitter.com/search?q=grindavik&f=live https://twitter.com/search?q=grindavik&f=live and it's pretty clean. You'll occasionally see the famous drone video from the 2021 eruption being touted as what's happening in Gridavik right now.
- Scarblac 3y agoYesterday it was way worse. Then the cracks in the middle of town opened and it seems that's sensational enough to use instead.
- hef19898 3y agoNot just Twitter, I saw a "symbol" picture of a volcanic eruption on a major German news site about Grindavik...
- rjmunro 3y agoThis is why you can't use X (or facebook or any other social media) for news.
- styren 3y agoAll depends on the accounts that you follow but I agree that the search function of X is horrible.
- stainablesteel 3y agoThe TL;DR of how you can search on X: • from:twittername • keyword1 OR keyword2 • min_faves:2000 • min_retweets:2000 • filter:links • filter:images • until:YYYY-MM-DD • since:YYYY-MM-DD • near:location within:15mi its actually a pretty nice search ngl
- LesZedCB 3y agomakes you wonder about this very thread then
- Arubis 3y agoHN has plenty of flaws and cultural issues, but the stated intention here is to promote discussion, not "user engagement". Where Twitter/X promotes outright lies, here I typically take more issue with folks' lenses and biases. tl;dr: I trust HN orders of magnitude more than Twitter and crew.
- _jal 3y agoIs Ycombinator paying out to their "content generators" here? Also, while I can imagine one's HN reputation helping someone a job or find a venture partner in this little bubble, there is no comparison with Xitter's reach.
- gosub100 3y agoReminds me of nearly every time there is an aircraft incident with, say a 737 but the media show a stock photo of a completely different plane that has 4 engines.
- namuol 3y agoYou may want to consider waiting a few more minutes to get news from reliable sources.
- tempaccount1234 3y agoYou can watch the live cams on RÚV.is or the tv channel ruv2 that streams from there. That way you also get RÚV radio sound, with their great music choices that now clash with the night images…
- sebazzz 3y agoInstead of becoming a more reliable source of news, thanks to ad payouts and the resulting engagement farming by blue checkmarks Twitter/X is becoming increasingly less reliable.
- mock-possum 3y agoSince the effect is so obvious, it’s hard to imagine that hasn’t been the objective.
