> Maybe that is the problem, it is seen as pro/anti X instead of facts/lies. What I meant is that there are more notes correcting pro-China lies than anti-China lies. So the removal of community notes would benefit pro-China propagandists. > If you ask this, you miss the point. How exactly do you expect me to tell a true note from a false one?

> Use your head. Do your research.

Exactly. Just show me tweets well-sorted and let me decide. Don’t tell me “here is truth” (which is what “here is context” is intended to look like).

> With community notes you can choose to ignore the context

Just like you could have chosen to ignore lies in the actual tweet without any community notes adding yet another layer of lies, only harder to ignore because it is now called “context” but really is just some guy’s opinion that won a popularity contest.

Internet media types (previously known as “MIME types”) with “X-” prefixes are now discouraged.

For many in this thread, X is now discouraged as well. /s

I don't understand, how is this sarcasm?

> That Twitter hide (soft ban) tweets/accounts that an algorithm labels as misinformation because it was massively flagged? That happened before, it was easily abused, it was censorship.

You mean something like this? https://twitter.com/chrisswartout/status/1753634492894347759

They mean that X the social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, is now discouraged, since Nitter is no longer a viable method for accessing it.
