- cmxch 9mo agoUnproven claim that sounds like you just want to dismiss a counter-narrative platform. If anything, BlueSky is a botnet for narrative enforcement.
- datsci_est_2015 9mo ago> Unproven claim Two biggest pieces of evidence I’ll bring to the table: - Bots have always been an issue on Twitter, as even Elon expressed during his acquisition. I somehow doubt that one of Twitter’s biggest, most intractable issues is somehow being resolved with fewer employees. - The fiasco of the account geolocation, showing that many generic rightwing talking point boosters were operating from LCOL and VLCOL countries. It doesn’t take a leap of faith to connect the dots that when you monetize engagement, you’ll have bad-faith actors using underhanded techniques to farm engagement. Personal opinion inserted: this is the entire rightwing playbook at the moment and it’s working swimmingly. > sounds like you just want to dismiss a counter-narrative platform Sounds kind of like you just want to dismiss talking points that run counter to your own with thought-terminating clichés.
