You say that like this was a mistake and not an intentional act. Using defeat to shut-out leftists is a feature, not a bug

if you're expecting the dems to seize power and exercise it, i don't think you can say the dems are the ones with pattern recognition issues. they are a fake political party bribed/blackmailed by the exact same people that bribe/blackmail the republicans because representative democracy is fake and the us is a nazi shithole

I mean, this has always been incredibly obvious. Of course the government is fully aware that Israel's real objective is a "final solution to Gaza." They're just mad about it making them look bad.

It used to be Twitter, but Elon's changes effectively destroyed it. Now any leftist posting that goes viral gets dog-piled by blue-checks and slapped with a "community note"

They want to do the same to Tiktok

the community notes are good, OP.

When I think of the TikTok ban two things spring immediately to mind:

1. It's always projection and if they're worried about the what the Chinese government is doing to its social media apps then I'm worried about what our intelligence agencies are doing to ours
2. Obviously this is because it's a place where people can actually hear and see what's going on outside of the censorship regime of the west and that's unacceptable

this are also the same reasons as to why libs wanted x shut down after elon bought it.

interesting question tbh. I mean I don't cringe when I hear "moist" but I definitely have a dimmer view of it than "hoist" or "joist". maybe it's just the effect of cultural osmosis making me feel that way

on the other hand, I do cringe when I think about the demokkkrats, who are going to be destrroyed in 2024 (inshallah)

Sometimes. Their purpose is to provide an instantaneous counter-narrative with a sheen of official legitimacy. If you trust Elon to always err on the side of accuracy and free speech, I guess they're good. I don't.

At any rate, what miffs them about Tiktok is that they can't slap a record-correcting note on every pro-Palestine or Biden senior moment video.

Imagine six people are trying to decide on which restaurant to go to. They're going to go to whichever restaurant has the most support regardless of what an individual member of the group thinks. Two people want to go to the burger restaurant, two want to go to the pasta restaurant. One person isn't a diehard supporter of either restaurant but sides with whichever restaurant had the better service last time. The final one hates burgers and loves pasta but the pasta restaurant is so bad they refuse to eat there and no one else will ever agree with them to go to some third restaurant that isn't terrible. One of the diehard pasta fans tries to convince the pasta lover with standards that not only do they hate burgers but the burger place has health code violations; of course, this doesn't work because the pasta place has just as many health code violations. Another complains that the burger place doesn't have any vegan options; this doesn't work because the uncommitted voter knows the pasta place also serves veal and the two burger guys make a huge show of ordering the veal every time they go there to piss off the vegan guy. In the end, only a third of the group is happy because they got exactly what they wanted and relationships are further strained between everyone and will continue to deteriorate every time they have to make a choice on lunch.

Community notes are just a tool and can be used for good or evil depending on who gets their hands on them. They're a net good because a lot of people who are used to going unchallenged are getting slapped with community notes. Even corporate press releases are getting hit.

see: it's good to lay bare the mendacity & tortured reasoning of the democrat party, and the community notes do that as well as point out when someone's lying.
