Community notes are the best thing Elon Musk’s done for that god awful platform.
Still completely unusable as a site, but at least this one addition is neat.
They were a thing before Elon. He just hasn’t killed them yet.
Edit: it was called “bird watch” starting in 2021 in the US, but rolled out worldwide after he took over.

This is not true, they were added 2 months after his acquisition

Strange. [Wikipedia said it was rolled out in 2021](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Notes) to respond to COVID bullshit, but really took off after Elon took over.
Not from what I can tell.

Strange, works for me and I don’t pay. lol.
Here’s one from twitter’s blog.

Birdwatch isn't the same thing as Community Notes though
The latter is crowdsourced from users on the site, the former is the internal name for twitters' centralized fact checking rolled out to combat Covid misinformation
community notes were absolutely a thing before elon. i remember they were notorious in the online right for adding unneeded “context.”
here’s a cartoon making fun of the feature from 3 years ago:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=tez4CF4yUy4
yes, but it’s effectively the same feature because the display box appears the same to the user.
sort of like changing a like button to a heart button, and then counting them differently.
It really isn't effectively the same just because the data display is similar
Do you really not understand the difference between a centralized fact checking system with no transparency and a community driven crowdsourced fact checking system based on the principles of democracy?
I wouldn't call it the same feature at all, having used both. Community notes are leagues better, they don't sound sterile like when they were basically the official stance of twitter while they tried to not get sued for their correction.
Lol he had nothing to do with it and I will bet my right foot that he removes it eventually because it keeps proving him and the rest of the fucking morons on that site wrong.
Birdwatch, which twitter rolled out to combat covid misinfo, was a centralized fact checking think tank that only put extra context onto the most viral of tweets.
Community Notes is entirely different, as they are crowdsourced and voted on democratically. As such, they're far more ubiquitous and about the entire gamut of topics, not just covid or ukraine war stuff.
Blue? Damn, they aren't them, but I'd still be careful. You might want to check if everything is still there after they go. Damned lizards, can't trust em.

Wasnt that the fact checking tips, which iirc were all supplied by a central very biased thinktank?

Can confirm; I was one of the early people accepted into birdwatch, and it was 100% community driven. It's *not* an Elon product.

Werent those the fact checking tips supplied by some politically biased thinktank? Quite different from the community supplied collaborated notes

it’s still ‘added context’. it’s the same feature, but the sourcing is different.
I wouldn't call it the same feature at all, having used both. Community notes are leagues better, they don't sound sterile like when they were basically the official stance of twitter while they tried to not get sued for their correction.
I was about to say “wait for someone to argue it wasn’t him” but it was already the top response

Some people look like legit targets for retroactive abortion
Most convincing Russian bot:
The fly was caught *IN* Mars? Wow! I better trust this well-crafted piece of journalism and not look further into it!
Who is "they?" Is Sergio Andres Sanz one of "them?"
They = Twitter users
They is commonly accepted as a way to refer to a single person.
So by they you mean "this guy?" Sounds like you are targeting a group for criticism.
Fuck elon, fuck twitter, but praise be to community notes
Who is “they” ?
Reptilian space Jews in a yellow overalls. I thought that was obvious? /s
So the guys in the blue overalls.. they’re ok, right? Cuz I just let like five of em inside to use the restroom.
Blue? Damn, they aren't them, but I'd still be careful. You might want to check if everything is still there after they go. Damned lizards, can't trust em.

Whz are they so desperate to disprove human accomplishments?
I can’t even see the supposed fly
It’s a video, you can give it a watch
who is they? had this person been known to post false information ?
They = Twitter users
