University of Washington: Community Notes help reduce the virality of false information on X, study finds. “A University of Washington-led study of X found that posts with Community Notes attached were less prone to going viral and got less engagement. After getting a Community Note, on average, reposts dropped 46% and likes dropped 44%. “

TechCrunch: X to test using Community Notes to find the posts everyone likes. “On Thursday, the Community Notes X account announced the launch of a pilot test where select contributors would be able to rate posts by answering questions about why they either like or don’t like that particular post.”

Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas: A Deep Dive into X’s Community Notes: An Analysis of English and Spanish Contributions Between 2021 and 2025. “Though Community Notes has become a flagship model for decentralized content moderation, the approach itself is hotly debated.

Poynter: Fact-checkers are among the top sources for X’s Community Notes, study reveals. “When Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the end of the third-party fact-checking program on his company’s platforms, he said he would ‘get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes, similar to X.’ But a new study shows that fact-checkers remain an essential part of X’s program, […]

The first couple of #CommunityNotes on this #tweet are unhelpful to the point of probably being counter productive?

That #infoGraphic shows the number of death in the vaccine and placebo groups are identical to within rounding error, THEREFORE there are no vaccine-related deaths.

After they change it to open label, there's no deaths in the placebo group, probably because almost all of them took the #vaccine when offered?

I also checked that #HIV rate - that's half the background rate per year for the #USA

Is this a supportive #CommunityNote with a very unfortunate editing error leading to "neither" instead of "both"?

Or is #transphobe #grammar reaching strange new levels of unintelligible contradictions?

#CommunityNotes :birdsite: https://twitter.com/i/birdwatch/t/1559797262678720514 Link goes directly to the community notes, which are currently all stuck on "Needs more ratings - Not shown on Twitter"

#Tweet :birdsite: https://twitter.com/MRobertsQLD/status/1559797262678720514 Link goes to Mal's tweet in the usual twitter interface.

I am not sure if the ratings count if you have not signed up for #CommunityNotes or have not been accepted yet … but it is worth a try?

And you can sign up via the "join" button on that page.

If the first link doesn't work (or you don't trust my links) you can also sign up for #CommunityNotes via the link in the pinned tweet on their official page :birdsite: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes

Unfortunately there seems to be a long waiting list.

You can follow the @CommunityNotes twitter page Mastodon via a few different mirror bots. These are unofficial mirrors, they don't send any comments or likes back to twitter. But a lot of instance admins block these twitter mirror bots because they create too much traffic, or cause confusion by being mistaken for profiles of people who are also here on Mastodon.

Can anyone identity what these videos actually are?

Obviously his central #ConspiracyTheory is #nonsense but I'm curious about what the images actually are.

Particularly the jet spray? it looks like too much for a crop duster but not enough for fire fighting? Are they testing a #FireFighting #aircraft maybe?

If notes get rated as "Helpful" they are displayed under #tweets

"Helpful" ratings ALSO mean that #CommunityNotes author is able to write more notes on more tweets

"Unhelpful" ratings hide that note from further ratings and reduce how many other notes that author can write.

So ratings on notes don't just affect that note, they create a feedback loop of more or fewer notes like that.

hrs doing the "no notes so I'm right" crap

@EricCarroll

I'm trying to get a diverse array of people from the #CovidResistance to join twitter's crowd sourced fact checking system #CommunityNotes FKA #BirdWatch :birdsite:

https://twitter.com/i/flow/join-birdwatch

I've written a few other posts on this with hashtags #CommunityNotes #TwitterCommunityNotes #CommunityNotesRequests

Can some diverse non-morons please join Twitter's crowdsourced fact checking #CommunityNotes FKA #BirdWatch

Currently it seems inaccurately guessed trivia has broad appeal, but not actual fact checking!

Half arsed "NASA says its a sphere" checks on flat earth tweets are the current standard.

None of my #CommunityNotes about science or medical misinformation are showing. They all say:

"Needs more ratings · Not shown on Twitter" https://communitynotes.twitter.com/guide/en/contributing/notes-on-twitter

Even if you don't have the time or the spoons to write anything, you can rate things others have written to help informative notes get displayed to people on the #BirdSite

Most annoyingly, I just noticed my ONLY #CommunityNote currently showing on #twitter is one that in retrospect i think might be wrong, and is also very trivial. It's about tomatoes price marked in £ and the tweet says they're from Spain, i suggested they might be in #Gibraltar 🇬🇮 … but now i think that tweet was probably just a dumb joke.

please help… https://twitter.com/i/flow/join-birdwatch

FIRST SCREEN

Community Notes is a collaborative way to keep people better informed.

1️⃣ Contributors are people like you. Anyone on Twitter whose account meets the eligibility criteria can sign up to help.


2️⃣ All contributors start with the ability to rate notes, and over time, can earn the ability to write.

3️⃣ Notes aren't chosen by majority rule. Community Notes identifies notes that are found helpful by and for people with different points of view.

4️⃣ Twitter doesn't choose what shows up: the people do.

A lot people can't write #TwitterCommunityNotes because they deleted their #twitter account or because they don't have time to rate enough other #CommunityNotes that it will let them write anything.

If you don't know what they are, they are a little fact check box that appears under a dubious tweet, but they need to be endorsed by other people who have qualified for community notes.
