How can you possibly call community notes on Twitter a "success" when they demonstrably have not reduced the amount of actively made up shit on the site, and the same people who complain about a fact checker saying "no, vaccines do not change your DNA" are just as upset when that info comes from the community notes box, and the only reason there hasn't been widescale anger about them is because Elon wants to pretend it was his idea.
- tptacek 2y agoI'm not saying Twitter it is good. It is demonstrably not. But you're kidding yourself if you thought Facebook fact checking was suppressing the antivaxers and flat-earthers.
- freejazz 2y agoOh, so community notes on twitter are actually not good, but its good that Facebook is implementing them anyway? You make no sense and are constantly equivocating back and forth in all your different posts.
- melodyogonna 2y agoThey're not there to eliminate made up shit, they're the to add context - e.g "this post is made up and demonstrably false".
