@GaryMarcus In general I find the community notes solution is actually quite good. In particular because I'm a rater I can see all the back and forth with links in the notes. Does everyone have access to that? I don't know but it's really helpful imo.

@GaryMarcus The problem with blocking misinformation is always who decides what is misinformation. It's been clearly established at this point that some of those lies Twitter was pressured into blocking were actually true.

What has and has not changed around here:

X: indirectly influenced by Russian government, to amplify hate speech and lies

Honestly, I prefer the old days.
