Community notes are an actually good feature of Twitter. It’s a good thing they are copying it
why is that? genuine question, don’t use twitter.
It’s broad consensus that’s featured there, so it manufactures consent less hard, and more importantly, the fact-check appears attaches to the original misinfo, so it gets reshared with it.
but broad consensus does not mean true.
to me this just sounds like social media passing the buck to their users with no regard for accuracy. sure, whatever you guys want to believe, go for it.
I think you and the person you’re responding to both have a point. They’re totally passing the buck to their users, but their users will probably be better at putting accurate information than they are. It’s a different set of problems to be sure, but I think it’s a preferable one
but their users will probably be better at putting accurate information than they are.
“they” (Meta) was not the one fact-checking, it was a 3rd party service. And I don’t know why you assume a social media user base would be better at it, especially with highly politicized things like climate change, vaccines, wars, etc.
They think that because community notes are actually fairly good on Twitter. You’d think that they wouldn’t be, but somehow the extremist idiots don’t seem to be able to outshout the sensible majority.
Just go on YouTube and search for community notes.
“fairly good” or not, the question is, is it better than a 3rd party service like the one Meta was using.
So for the . . what seems like hundredth year in a row - anyone who’s using Facepals and Xitter please delete it. please. Just. Stop.
