@BenjaminBadejo I think you're discounting how false claims tend to spread via new posts and not just by the original post. A single election denial claim can inspire a thousand others. Who is going to sit on Twitter all day and run down every single misleading post? It doesn't scale. — PolitiTweet.org

I can watch a soccer game and go "yes, you see, the hard part is for one team to score more goals than the other team." That's not the same as knowing what specifically to do to get the ball downfield and past the keeper. — PolitiTweet.org

Musk would likely point to Birdwatch/Community Notes as a source for that context. As we've seen, though, falsehoods (noise) often propagate faster and more virally than truth (signal) on online platforms. Lots of people have spent their whole careers untangling this problem! — PolitiTweet.org

Musk's signal-to-noise remark is especially revealing, IMO. He said: "Truth is signal and falsehood is noise. And we want to improve the signal-to-noise ratio as much as possible.” But in info ops, it's rarely this black-and-white! Misinfo can be based in truth but omit context. — PolitiTweet.org

By the end, more than 108,000 users were listening to Musk's remarks, and the list of advertisers in attendance included Adidas, Chevron, Kate Spade, Nissan and Walgreens — just to give you a sense of the caliber of the brands paying close attention https://t.co/X79v9FUNPd — PolitiTweet.org

– Described content moderation as a "signal-to-noise ratio" problem – Musk is revamping Twitter's code base to support features like longform video, which will start with 10-minute videos, ramping up to 40+ mins and hours-long videos eventually https://t.co/X79v9FVlEL — PolitiTweet.org

– Musk thinks phone # and credit cards will be enough to stop trolls, spammers and state-backed disinfo artists because there are only so many phone #s and credit cards they have access to, or they'll get tired of the effort (@C_C_Krebs what say you?) https://t.co/X79v9GcoGL — PolitiTweet.org

– Brands would need to pay for their own blue checks – Musk thinks Birdwatch/Community Notes will "obviate" the need for much official content moderation – Twitter Blue won't have any ID verification, just requires phone number and credit card https://t.co/X79v9FUNPd — PolitiTweet.org

Here are a few highlights: – Banking is coming to Twitter, with P2P payments, a "money market fund" and debit cards/checks – Twitter Blue subscribers' tweets get shown by default but non-paying users' tweets will have to be manually sought out https://t.co/X79v9FVlEL — PolitiTweet.org

@TonyRomm Since it doesn't really matter which server you're on (you can still follow anyone from any server) my main criterion was that the domain be pretty short, like just a handful of characters, so that I can put it in places like my Twitter profile name. — PolitiTweet.org

As more of the experts and sources I follow head to platforms like Mastodon, though, I have to decide how and where to spend my attention. Starting over on a new site sounds exhausting (hello, network effects!) but until it's clear we've hit a tipping point, I'll be on both. — PolitiTweet.org

Like many of you, I've been rethinking my relationship to Twitter. For me, it kind of began after I went on parental leave a year ago. I've always been pretty good at unplugging on off hours (or maybe just bad at my job?) but becoming a dad *really* tanked my drive to be on here. — PolitiTweet.org
