Elon is not twitter, he is sometimes a troll. Have you removed the troll from your own eye?


Elon gets his posts artificially boosted by The Algorithm, and he plans to remove the block feature, because "It doesn't make sense". Also, Xitter apparently puts more hateful shit onto people's "For You" feeds now.


I'm not a Twitter user so if this is a dumb question I apologize.

This sounds like a pretty serious allegation. How do you know this is true? Is it in the source code?[1]

Thanks, the article is paywalled so I can't read it, but from what I can see it does say "reportedly." How credible is the report? Like is it from anonymous disgruntled employees or is there some independent data the journalists were able to collect?

Also was this like a one time stupid thing Elon did and then reversed (which seems like something he tends to do from time to time), or is it a permanent/semi-permanent ongoing thing? GP's claim is that it's ongoing part of the algorithm. A one-time thing is definitely bad and gross, but is a much lesser allegation than an ongoing thing, especially if it's part of the Algorithm but isn't part of the open source part that they claim.


This article went into a bit more detail: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/feb/15/elon-musk...

And this seems to be the original report: https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/14/23600358/elon-musk-tweets...

It does sound like anonymous "sources" which could be disgruntled employees or former employees, but overall I get the feeling it's legitimate and GP's assertion is correct to what degree, hard to say, but it does seem true


Does it have free speech?


It does not in any way.


For those who want it; there are instances which don’t really defederate at all. If you’re into weird Nazis, they’re absolutely available.

Most people, realistically, want some moderation in their social media, and the major instances cater to that.


Maybe there was a great flood


Great product


It will not be optional. You should think of protecting others. Also don’t drive - you might hit someone
