I’ve always said @CommunityNotes is great at flagging AI slop, especially if it’s not political. If Meta’s Community Notes can’t get a stable note attached to this slam dunk post then I’d say the system is an absolute fail.

New: Here's a chart of the top conservative / progressive accounts on X. See that small blue dot at the top? That's @Acyn. His fast-cut clips of political combat get hundreds of millions more views than major news sources - and basically no one knows who he is. So I profiled him.

@jaybaxter Honestly, what if y'all used the bridging algorithm for the For You tab, not just Community Notes

This would be cool. What would you want more? "Gold star" for: 1. Users who criticize bad things done by their own side 2. Users who are generally liked by people with a wide range of views (on topics that are usually polarizing) 3. (2), but for posts instead of users (1) seems cool but would that accidentally incentivize people to take a side most of the time, and crossover only occasionally? (2) or (3) may have a cleaner incentive structure but WDYT?
Kelsey Piper@KelseyTuoc

you know what I want, some kind of 'gold star you are principled' badge you get on Twitter for criticizing bad things done by your own side, set up like community notes so you earn it if people with a wide range of views think you deserve it

New: @factchecknet condemns raid on CRTA, home of Istinomer fact-checkers, in Serbia. Serbian authorities premised the raid on unproven claims from Trump, Musk and other US officials about USAID program corruption. poynter.org/news-release/2…
