we need some kind of deep-dive analysis of how community notes manages to be so effective and reliable. it’s genuinely insane how much value it adds. it’s maybe the only good twitter feature
Vitalik Buterin recently did a writeup on how Community Notes work that is really good.
wow - it was so good that i assumed it was managed by some centralized team. the fact that it’s purely algorithmic is insane to me
this reply is under a clip of jack taking a lie detector test and straight up truthfully saying he doesnt like mrbeast’s content LMAOO
I’m gonna add some context here, and ramble for a bit, since I watched that video when it came out and sorta have some context and lots of opinions about this-
You don’t really need an ideological reason to unfollow or block somebody you can just find them annoying
There’s some posts going around accusing a popular blog i admired of transphobia which i thought was kind of stretching reality. They did, however, say some mean shit about some people who really didn’t deserve it and that was enough for me.
Like. Guys. That can be the limit of your dislike for that person. You don’t need to go spreading callouts and shit just cause you don’t like a person. This is Online Website. Just stop interacting.
Now you know why white people hate history and having it explained with context.
here’s how i explain racism to white guys who never thought about it: on a tobacco plantation is a field full of black slaves, and one white guy getting paid 25 cents a day to sit on a horse with a big hat and a gun. and he keeps those slaves working for his 25 cents and his seat on the horse.
and inside the plantation house is another white man sitting in a cool comfortable chair, sipping lemonade, making a hundred dollars a day off that idiot sweating his ass off on a horse. because if he ever dropped the gun, if he walked off with the slaves…
but he never did. none of those overseers ever did. so that’s still going on today. if you’re white you’re still being handed a hat and a quarter and a gun. and the sun’s beating down on all of you out here in this fucking field growing poison for another man’s mansion.
and you’re never going to get to taste that lemonade.
“Maui residents have been called by real estate developers asking if they would sell their fire-ravaged land”
Kill these leeches. Boil them alive. There is no greater scum than the real estate hustler. They are lower than sewage.
WHILE I’M AT IT the “hustle and grind” and “side hustle” trend has generated the most profane, self-obsessed, destructive, and predatory people. It has done untold damage both economically and psychologically.
first incidence of good writing advice i’ve seen in 10+ years on this platform and it’s in the notes of a mustelid wreaking absolute havoc in a german grocery store
