Maybe the assertion in the tweet is true and maybe it isn’t, but to me, this is the real reason that X should be abandoned. No one on X can be trusted to engage in honest discourse. I don’t believe anything, whether it’s coming from the right or the left if it’s posted on X. You might as well have posted something from 4Chan.

- dimal 2y agoWikipedia isn’t the cesspool that X is, but yeah, it’s not as reliable as many people think it is.
- defrost 2y agoTrust, reliability, bias are things that have a scale. I'm always skeptical of things I read, the advantage Wikipedia has is that it's easy enough to see what references are used and how active community edits and debate on an article is. Nuggets of "information" posted to X, Faceook, and the like are often much harder to dig into and peer behind the curtain of.
