That could be X or Reddit for that matter. Yet no one talks about Reddit the same way.

  At least X has fact checking, you can go on r/all most days and find completely false content on the front page. Just a few days ago Reddit upvoted a post to the front page making fun of Elon for saying illegal immigrants can have SSN’s. Reddit has no interest in fact checking or stopping hate so long as it’s popular

    Reddit has become terrible and unusable especially since the election campaign started last year. Anyone refuting the misinformation with sources or facts are permanently banned by mods of big subreddits like r/news. Unrelated subs are injected with partisan politics, sometimes completely taking it over. Death threats to Musk higly upvoted. Not a great source but they have plausible proof that explains this behavior. https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/29/busted-the-inside-story-of-how-the-kamala-harris-campaign-manipulates-reddit-and-breaks-the-rules-to-control-the-platform/ https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/29/busted-the-inside-story...

    How is it that Elon can post so many lies then?, only someone who's never been to X can believe that. I lost count of how many lies I've seen there.

      I don't know that he does. He maybe posts hot takes, but they're not lies, and if they are [community notes gets him](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889062581848944961 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889062581848944961). I'm sure there are exceptions, especially for smaller accounts, but generally you don't see the kind of outright fake stuff you see on reddit, and you certainly don't see moderators protecting fake content like they do on reddit, or mass banning for saying things like "Golf of America".
