    This might actually end up being a good thing. If users can fact-check stuff instead of relying kn Meta to do it for us. It seems bad, but there are a lot of people willing to correct their misinformation.

    On the flipside, why are people still using facebook? It’s like 90% AI slop these days.

      The idea of this being useful assumes meta won’t be removing community notes they don’t like.

      why are people still using facebook?

      I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former. If you have any ideas on what I can do, I’m all ears eyes.

      I asked the attendees about how they’d feel if we moved to a different platform and they immediately said they don’t want to handle dozens of accounts scattered across different platforms. I also advertise the group on related subreddits and, most recently, the locally relevant /c/ equivalents here.
