You'd think Elon would be used to disappointment after public unveilings by now.

the block bot has to add users to your blocklist one at a time so it takes a while to import all 200k+ users on the twitter blue list

i subscribed a few days ago and it's only imported about 4k to my account so far

Firstly, he's been teasing open source algorithms for a while now.

Secondly, I'm really not sure how making them open source is going to do anything but make it easy for bots and scammers to abuse the gently caress out of them

Mr vox peepee vox doodoo would do basically anything to not admit left leaning stuff is simply more popular due to there being more left leaning people, and that's all the algorithm is reflecting.

Such a successful business model that noted business knower Mark Zuckerberg is now bringing the "pay me $12 for a useless verification checkmark" to """"Meta"""".

that sounds like a lot of effort. if you want to look at a video that's questionable or might mess up recommendations, just watch it in a private window.

This was before I figured out how to turn off the "hover over to play videos" setting, which is a bad thing if you accidentally hover over something due to an emergency bathroom bugout :lol:

They’re all going into it expecting to find “if {strong_conservative_voice > 0}
shadowban=true;
canceled = true;
endif;”
And get totally confused by the reality of what an algorithm actually is and then yell some more about how the left is trying to obfuscate the truth in coded language or something.

Fire trucks will always be the enemy for a Tesla. Their natural state is on fire, and fire trucks always arrive to try and stop them from becoming the glorious inferno they always knew was bottled up within.

Even if the fire truck doesn’t put out the Tesla, it spits out people that steal the Tesla’s hard-earned meal of man-flesh from the raging inferno it is destined to become.

One to one, yes. But teslas are a crafty bunch, and much like orcas or wolves will soon hunt in packs to bring down the larger solitary vehicle.

If you are going to say those are straight facts, I'd be more than happy to issue you a mod challenge where I require you to write anannotated summary Where you attempt to justify the language you are saying is "Straight facts".
