Speak for yourself, not everyone.
I actually like X, it's much more enjoyable than Twitter used to be.
Spaces are seamless, it's cool to drop into a random conversation with hundreds of thousands of listeners.
Community notes actually gives great context without parading as a de-facto fact checker ran by a couple of companies with their own biases.
- anileated 3y agoTwitter’s “community notes” is one of two things: 1) if it is 100% community based, then exactly the same as most upvoted tweet reply; 2) if it is moderated additionally, then exactly the same as fact checker run by a company with its own bias. Which one is it?
- theultdev 3y agoit's neither of those which leads to your own lack of knowledge of the system. you can see the source code of the algorithm here: https://github.com/twitter/communitynotes https://github.com/twitter/communitynotes there's a number of factors that goes into the rankings, like taking into account which other community note users rated it helpful and how they rated previous notes. also simple usage of community notes would have revealed it was at least more sophisticated than the prison of two ideas you presented.
- anileated 3y ago> the prison of two ideas you presented. No need to be so dramatic. Looks like it’s in fact 100% community based, just the community is separate (the ‘community notes community’). The higher barrier to entry, compared to Twitter’s mainstream audience, is its saving grace (at least for now, as more time passes this seems susceptible to good old astroturphing, gaming, and eventually good faith contributors rage-quitting).
