This is an interesting decision.

I imagine his ultimate goal is auto-mod but it seems like maybe you’d want to have that in place before you did this? If he’s drumming up customers for his $8 twitter blue subscription can there be that many in this group? I have to assume it’s mostly trolls, spammers, bots, or are bots in a different category, he says “banned accounts”

Also what are these negative hate posts that are being deboosted, in an interview where literally everything said is sus, Dril said he’s getting a lot less engagement, and thinks it is because of “negativity” Has Musk even done enough to affect him? And how is he defining this(will Musk himself be affected by this deboosting?)(Algorithm wise, I guess lower engagement could just be users)

If he doesn't call it Full Self-Moderating, it's an opportunity missed.

"Hey, I wonder what this fence is doing here. Should I call Chesterton and ask, or just knock it down and see what comes in and out?"

Obviously it was put there by NPCs infected with the woke mind virus to hold back the inconvenient truths the establishment doesn't want us to know! We must burn it down immediately, then burn down everything else! It's the only way to be sure, the only way to be free.

I posted this on November 18th, and given what's currently going on at Twitter, I still stand by it.

This writeup contains a piece of misinformation propagated by mainstream media:

The proportion of employees who chose to stay is not 25%, in fact it's the reverse: 73% ended up opting to continue with the company.

Sorry. I wrote that piece before that fact was known. I'll post a correction later after looking up current sources.

EDIT: I have posted a correction at the top of the page.

Very generous and comendable, thank you mathlover2!

Yet he's banned several anti-fascist accounts in the last couple days.

It's almost like wealthy capitalists like the ideals of fascism. Weird considering fascism is the consolidation of corporate power. Never could have seen that one coming

it's currently open to vote, so go ahead and vote on it if you have a strong opinion on it

Voting on his polls is engagment, which he wants/needs to be able to sell to advertisers.

sure, I am sure there is collateral value to his tweets. Still, we can test his commitment right now, by participating in the vote. If he loses and still goes ahead, then we know it's all BS. Annoying to play his game tho, this I understand!
