He says he wants to make the algorithms visible and open source, and authenticate anyone who wants it (rather than keep it limited to "important" people).
I figure he'll put a stop to some of the bannings and shadowbannings. Maybe the worst censorial types will leave the company.
I like it.

I guess Trump said last week he probably won’t rejoin Twitter if able, so that’s that!

And Mickey, I suppose Twitter could get worse, but it’s already so stupid, so it’d be marginal.

Re: Social Media: The God That Failed
people are saying they will leave twitter etc.
i just dont get it. you have the power to block accounts you dont want to see/hear from. you can mute key words. itll take about 20 minutes to cultivate your timeline to get rid of the hot messes you dont want to see but people are just too lazy
i bet elon makes it so everyone has to follow him like tom from myspace

Re: Social Media: The God That Failed
Because they don't just want the ability not to hear things they disagree with (a power they already have). The point is to prevent everyone else from hearing wrongthink. The entire project is devoted to preventing the dissemination of "disinformation," in other words, the point is to be censors and arbiters of truth for everyone, a power they don't have.Peeps wrote:people are saying they will leave twitter etc.

Only Burt can be motivated by accumulation of power. Everyone else doing so is underhanded!
