Community notes are among the best things Musk ever did.
D
Community notes is one of the few redeeming things about Twitter, Community notes and the where they come from tags should be standard across most social medias
V
Reddit would never add a country of origin tag despite them showing you the views per country in the advanced analytics of every comment and post. Edit: for example this comment as of 9:30a EST has 500 views with 73% from the US, 8% from Canada, and 3% from the UK
T
I forgot what sub did this, but they tracked the origin of where their posts were coming from and majority were from Russia.
Y
It was the anti trump 50501 sub, and then after that came out the instantly said it was a psyop or something.
S
Latestagecapitalism? Socialism? WayoftheBern?
T
Other comment found it. Was the 50501 sub. Was wrong in that it’s not the majority, but just about half. The comments in the post are still funny (assuming they’re not bots). https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1n2s41z/russian_ip_addresses_on_this_sub/
O
Agreed. The country of origin being included is **great**. Someone’s talking about how America is awful, I check their account, and it turns out they’re from India! Now I know what they say doesn’t have any value.

Imagine community notes on news and political subs without the ability to turn them off or remove them. The mods would turn off the subs in protest 😀
Q
Say what you want about Elon but community notes are better and finding the truth then fact checking ever was
I
Huh, I always thought community notes were an original Twitter thing. Definitely a W by Elon if he made that decision.
D
they were but Elon opened them up more and made them less susceptible to left wing bias. they used to only exist on pro trump posts that didnt break twitters rules but twitter admins didn’t want to risk wrong think
W
>they used to only exist on pro trump posts that didnt break twitters rules but twitter admins didn’t want to risk wrong think Trump got real mad about that. He likes to lie to the people without any pushback, >Twitter has placed a fact-checking warning on a pair of tweets issued by President Trump in which he claims without evidence that mail-in ballots are fraudulent. Twitter’s move on Tuesday marks the first time the technology company has sanctioned Trump as criticism mounts about how the president has amplified misinformation to more than 80 million followers on the social media platform. Trump responded by accusing Twitter of stifling free speech. > >Twitter spokesman Trenton Kennedy told NPR that while the tweet about mail-in voting does not violate Twitter’s rules since “it does not directly try to dissuade people from voting,” it does contain “misleading information about the voting process, specifically mail-in ballots.” https://www.npr.org/2020/05/26/862797418/twitter-points-users-to-fact-checks-of-trump-tweets-for-the-first-time

I’d be real mad too if I was the only one held to scrutiny by a billion dollar corporation. Fact check everybody.

This is a lie that has no basis in reality.

Can you post a link to the tweets that was targeted?

It wasn’t on twitter, it was on Reddit. And I can’t point you to the comments or even the community because they were banned from Reddit. I don’t use twitter and I hope to never have to.

This discussion is about Twitter.

They are. Rightards are again gargling Elons balls for something he didn’t create. Like always
H
Community notes are fact checking.
V
But they aren’t a “fact checker,” it comes back to the who fact checks the fact checker.
N
I always post this article from Vitalik Buterin (creator of Ethereum) praising the algorithm behind Community Notes: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/08/16/communitynotes.html It really is brilliant, and every social media platform should do it.
W
Holy crap I had no idea about the concept of “users who normally disagree agreeing rates the note highly”. That’s really cool and it now makes sense why the community notes usually are politically neutral.
Q
Yes but not done by a “Fact Checker” and just users
B
It’s not spun by a website like snopes that doesn’t actually “fact check” but rather reinforces propaganda. That’s why “FACT CHECKED” became such a meme.
W
News became “fake news” because the people being scrutinized didn’t like it. Fact checks became “propaganda” when people who lied didn’t like someone pointing out their lies with sources. And that propaganda worked! Just look at how many people just reply with “lol snopes/cnn/bbc/abc they are not a real source” when they don’t want to read. >It’s not spun by a website like snopes that doesn’t actually “fact check” but rather reinforces propaganda. Could you post 3-5 propaganda pieces from snopes? Thank you.
B
Haha NOPE we aren’t going to do that revisionist history thing here. “Fake News” as a term became a thing because legacy media (CNN at the lead here) initially used it as a hamfisted battering ram against Trump’s very immature nature to exaggerate or be hyperbolic about literally everything. This was before his first term. Trump would say something completely unserious and certain media groups would immediately label it as “dangerous misinformation”. It was also used as some sort of “gotcha” against any remotely conservative satire, jokes, and sarcasm. That was of course cringe and ridiculous. Very quickly Trump turned it around after mainstream media platforms pushed forward low quality reporting and self referential nonsense that wasn’t actually news but rather propaganda – often anonymous leaks with unprovable claims. There were outrageous headlines with the source being “people familiar with the so and so’s way of thinking, people close to whoever” ie “my source is that I made it the fuck up”. As an example Buzzfeed’s article about the Russian KGB having some sort of kompromat on Trump involving a piss orgy with Russian prostitutes. The “source” turned out to be the Steele Dossier which was made by a former MI6 agent who was paid by the DNC. A majority of the claims in the dossier were salacious nonsense on par with tabloid journalism. This had a cascading effect on American journalistic integrity where it was shown that you can do and say whatever you want as long as you are just “reporting” on someone else’s slander or libel. After Trump became enemy number 1 for liberal media groups there were numerous examples of outright lies by news organizations like CNN and those examples were plastered on social media, especially Facebook on X. Community notes played a huge part in showing how things are mischaracterized or misrepresented to influence people on a massive scale. “Fact checking” took on a negative connotation because people found many instances of incorrect or misleading “fact checks”. Snopes labeled multiple articles from the Babylon Bee (a satirical website) as “false” and was shown to have an absurd bias with their use of “mostly true”/”mostly false” for certain political candidates, so much so that Facebook limited their usage as a “fact checker”. After this happened Trump began using it as a smear against any and all criticism of his campaigns and administration, legitimate or not, real or imagined. Now, pretty much everyone on any side with any strong political beliefs uses the term to describe unfavorable news since websites like Reddit encourage such hyper-specialized echo chambers and allows shameless propaganda. In the era of AI, alternative media, and low journalistic standards diminishing further for the sake of sensationalism there is a lot of “fake news” and no one side is guilt free.
J
This should be a bot response for anytime anyone asks the question: “How did we get here?”
W
No links I see? Even though I asked you about it and I see that you bring up the same old complaints about CNN, Buzzfeed and so on? I want to read it for myself, that’s why I wrote “Could you post 3-5 propaganda pieces from snopes? Thank you” if you remember enough to paraphrase them you should be able to post a link. Should I just take what you say at face value? >As an example Buzzfeed’s article about the Russian KGB having some sort of kompromat on Trump involving a piss orgy with Russian prostitutes. The “source” turned out to be the Steele Dossier which was made by a former MI6 agent who was paid by the DNC. A majority of the claims in the dossier were salacious nonsense on par with tabloid journalism. Here’s that article, posted January 10, 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20250926150328/https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-deep-ties-to-russia Buzzfeed got criticized for that at the time by companies that is not to be compared with tabloid journalism. Snopes even wrote about how it was unverified and all the criticism it got from credible media companies. I can see that you wrote about “a majority” of the claims was nonsense but you only give “a piss orgy with Russian prostitutes” as example. What did you think about the articles that didn’t mention any pee? Mother Jones and Yahoo both wrote about it before Buzzfeed.

Yellow journalism doesn’t exist. CNN, Fox, and the other news mega-conglomerates would never publish false or misleading information and then issue a much smaller retraction knowing that the initial reporting would receive far more reach than the later edit. Youtubers and anonymous accounts on X or discord would absolutely never do that either, as we both know these bastions of virtue would never tolerate falsehoods. Snopes fact-checking some retarded Facebook meme about “Aliens refusing to vote for Hillary Clinton” is actually vital for the integrity of democracy because someone might easily be swayed by this. Certainly not an above 200 IQ person such as yourself though. I remember when all the Russian Collusion stuff turned out to be real and Trump was executed for treason based on the irrefutable evidence against him that he was in fact a Russian spy. Man, I would have been able to get away with it too, if it weren’t for that massive brain you have hidden under your fedora. FOILED AGAIN!” Okay, now that your retarded daydream is over…legs just post 3-5 propaganda pieces from snopes, here is there entire section on Babylon Bee where they consistently imply that satire (protected under the 1st amendment) is dangerous misinformation: >Same old complaints I’ll stop with the same old complaints when they stop with the same old “conveniently cuts away from the feed when the narrative isn’t going well”. Imagine defending CNN in 2026. Even with airports they have less viewership than some youtubers in no small part because of the fact that they are so distrusted. >What did you think about the articles… I am unfortunately cursed with the knowledge and common sense that claims based on opposition research by desperate stateless mercenaries is generally a bad idea…so I didn’t consider them to be worth much. Surprise surprise they weren’t. From all we know in 2026 it’s more surprising to find out who *wasn’t* interfering in American elections since the EU, Israel, Russia, and China all had a hand through social media. Which is not startling or surprising information if you are capable of tying your shoelaces.

I mean presidents have a right to do things in their spare time, in their leisure time,” Conway argued. > >“I heard you object to Mr. Obama playing golf.

But the point is the same. Whether it’s President Obama or president Donald Trump, the idea that these men are going to be all work and nothing else all the time is just unrealistic because it’s never happened in our lifetimes.” > >The former Trump campaign manager said that the President-elect’s “work is his work and work his hobby,” adding that his “preferred time is with his family, but it’s followed very closely behind with his work.” > >White House spokesman Eric Schultz dismissed the comparison between Trump’s producer credit and Obama’s golf outings. > >“I’m not quite sure that analogy holds any water, but look that’s going to be a question for the President-elect’s team, and maybe our friends from NBC, about how that relationship might work,” Schultz said.

[snopes propoganda](https://www.snopes.com/tag/the-babylon-bee/) Here is a link since it wouldn’t work in my other comment.
W
That’s just a link to their babylon bee tag. You are not able to post specific fact checks and explain the propaganda? I should I just take what you say at face value?
B
If “fact checking” jokes from a satirical website that leans in a political direction doesn’t strike you as biased I really don’t think any other evidence I would provide would satisfy your nonsensical burden of proof. It’s not like they are also doing a weekly fact check/satire label on left-leaning late night shows. That’s very obviously selective narrative reinforcement you dummy.
S
Except that virtually all media content label as “fact checking” is a thinly veiled shell game to present false credibility and the illusion of non partisanship. Journalists doing their jobs should be sufficient fact checking and if it isn’t then those same outlets putting on a “fact checker” hat and saying the same thing changes nothing. Community notes are fundamentally different in that their very structure aligns incentives with reporting the truth. Raising the scores of notes that highly partisan users agree on makes it very difficult to manipulate as manipulation dilutes the value of the user’s ratings.
M
Takes the power away from the biased fact-checkers. Obviously they can be incorrect, but at least it’s easier than googling it yourself when you dont really care that much
U
Community notes launched on Twitter in 2021. They were popularized in March in 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Elon didn’t buy twitter until October of 2022. But go off I guess.
A
He made it so the public could apply community notes on their own, originally it was a journo/government only thing.
G
So I’d heard since I posted that. I don’t use Twitter often so my understanding of the timeline appears to have been mistaken.
S
It was genuinely in development long before he showed up
P
Holy shit did you get bot farmed or something lmao.
J
15 downvotes in 45 min for something factually true just because you’re not riding Elon’s cock. Crazy times. Maybe this place does have bots.

Not tight at all. Some random said shut up Monoby and I likewise told them to fuck off. You too, eat shit.
