Whoa whoa whoa!!!! Let’s not get hasty here, we’re not trying to tell anybody around here what to do with their free time if they want to be misinformed then that’s their God given right as an American of the United States of the World | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Probably should've deleted your account when they attempted to thwart a democratic election through misinformation and straight up propaganda in the most powerful country on the planet.
That was a pretty clear sign of who they were. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
The best way! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Step 1: grow the other half of your brain
Step 2: now you’re smart enough to quit facebook | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
That URL redirects to their youtube page for anyone in the UK for some reason. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Just fuckin delete your account lmao. Wanting to stay on this hot garbage of a platform is like wanting to get punched in the balls every day. “Here’s how to make getting punched in the balls more tolerable” lmao | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Probably due to the website not complying with European privacy regulations. Ever after Brexit they must have lazily firewalled the UK too.

STOP USING FACEBOOK. Damn. You really have to be this stupid? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
So I singed back into my Facebook account after a solid 8 year away, and dear lord is it a cesspit of AI nonsense. I’d heard it was bad but this was so far beyond what I would have ever imagined. AI images being spammed with replies from bot accounts. That’s over 90% of my feed
Why are there so many pictures of people with prosthetic legs and Jesus surrounded by Asian flight attendants????
“Why don’t pictures like this trend?”
“Close your eyes 85% to see magic”
“Beautiful cabin crew Scarlett Johansson”
“You will never regret liking this photo”
“99 years of luck and you will never lack money for your trip and travels”
“Today is my birthday I just want a wish” | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Just don't be an idiot and quit Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
A whole load of shit takes just saying to delete Facebook like *that* is the cause/solution to the actual problem this post is about. Great work guys /s
I still just have Facebook to keep in touch with old friends I am no longer physically able to visit but some of them, the same ones every damn time, constantly post pictures of AI generated cabins and vacation spots, shock photos that clearly can't happen, or just good old shitty photoshops, etc.
There is definitely a group of people who just can't understand, or don't think it's a problem, that they are spreading fake images. I don't get why they fail so spectacularly and repeatedly to just assess the situation critically and it concerns me greatly. Even if it's just positive things like a beautiful cabin by the beach, why can't we be satisfied with reality? Is having expectations that places like that really exist truly damaging or should I just shake my head and let it slide? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
More like drive away engagement. Why the fuck would I go to a site I expect to see my friends' updates and see AI bullshit? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
It's how I keep in touch with people who I don't talk to every day, and my mom likes to message me on there so it's the main reason I check it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
That was mine. I didn’t miss it not even one day after. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
That site looks AI generated. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
☑️ Delete Facebook

It’s a bunch of grannies sharing ai animals and patriotic pictures. The whole platform lost credibility a long time ago. Let it go to shit | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

A new study published by Pew Research shows that X, the microblogging app previously known as Twitter, has the most devoted following of news-seekers in the social media landscape.
While the majority of U.S. users on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok reported that news was not a reason that they used the sites, X users stated that keeping up with news is either a major or minor reason they return to the platform, with about half saying they regularly get news there.
According to Pew, Facebook outpaces all social media sites as a news source for Americans, with 30% of U.S. adults regularly getting news there, compared to Instagram (16%), TikTok (14%) or X (12%).
However, half of X’s user base regularly get news on the app, compared to TikTok (40%), Facebook (37%) and Instagram (30%) -- showing that X is more of a news destination than other sites. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Stop getting news from X, tiktok, other trash. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
X also has the highest rate of nazis. If you use this garbage platform, you are supporting a nazi and making it possible to continue his movement. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Pope found to be Catholic and bears found to use wooded areas for their toilet facilities. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Remember when Twitter was making active steps toward *mitigating* misinformation, before Musk took over? Sigh. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
The worst part is that it suggests the misinformation. I follow a few highly respectable people. I try to keep my feed clean of nonsense. Somehow, for no reason I can figure out, I get complete hyper conservative bullshit and a lot of good posts by people I follow never show up. It's not just the highest rate of misinformation as much as it forces it on you to the point where it feels less like the algorithm and more like it is intentional. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
There is no way for anyone to setup a calculation model to determine "the rate of disinformation".
The whole notion of it is... well, a disinformation.
However, I have yet to see an echo chamber being self-aware so, "news" like this will likely resonate well with some audiences. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
😱 anyone who has been on “X” recently is stunned by this news | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Translation: X has the highest rate of information that the publishers of this study don't like | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Every comment section of every post I look at is littered with bots promoting porn content too. It really has become the worst social media platform. Forget pornhub kids, just look at any given thread on X. No age verification required. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
That my work for them, but at the cost of ignoring the impact twitter has on broader society. Twitter had many robust communities that have no where else to go, realistically. That's one of the real shames of elon's takeover of what was once a useful way of exchanging information for people other than bigots. misogynists and authoritarians. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
That’s the allure | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
You’re actually correct, that is disinformation. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Twitter was having issues before Elon. Shareholders were looking for an exit. So when Elon opened his mouth about buying it and potentially violated SEC rules they used it as an opportunity to force the sale on him. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
What does this mean? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
By issues, you mean it didn't have a path to become profitable? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
“X gon give it to ya!” | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Who cares? I'm just there for the boobs.🤷🏾♂️ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
I still like Twitter. Nothing has replaced it and there are still people I want to see what they say using it. It's just worse. Threads is not an adequate replacement. I also don't mid contrarian view points, I love them. I'm just sick of bat shit crazy, bull shit racism, and straight far-right propaganda hitting my feed when it's not even what I want.
I think part of the problem actually is people leaving because Elon Musk. The opposite should've happened. It should be brigade by strong thoughtful content. It needs more people calling out the bullshit and making a stronger argument. Self segregation is a mistake. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Remember when twitter wasn’t a safe space for hate groups? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
This was said on Reddit so it must be true. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Makes sense why TikTok only ranks second then, there’s definitely a type or person that uses it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
We all hypocrites homie | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
It's the lowest barrier to entry. It has no karma system. No real moderation. You can report stuff all day and it goes nowhere. By design. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
As in it was a mess. It is better than when Musk stopped trying entirely to fix it but it wasn't great by any means. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Sure that’s part of it. It’s costs money to maintain and moderate. Without money you can’t solve the other issues like policing misinformation, spam, bots, hate speech, CSAM, violence…
None of these issues are new. People were complaining about misinformation and fake news during the Trump election back in 2016. Twitter was fighting a losing battle. They needed a way to stop it and needed money but had few options to generate it. Squeeze the customers and drive them away or don’t squeeze them and get overrun with junk, get over run with junk, you get a decline in user base, decline in user base means a decline in revenue… you see where this spiral goes?
Investors were clinging on. Twitter would’ve collapsed on its own. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
"Study"
Studies are fun. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
The fuck does that have to do with free speech | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Moderation is the policing of social media to remove posts that break the rules - and many of those rules are usually about content. At the high end, there is always a "no CSAM" rule but they can extend into misinformation, extreme political views, personal attacks and so on.
As such, more moderation means less freedom of speech.
However, if you prefer, I will rephrase: Can you think of an example where more freedom to say what you want resulted in less misinformation? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Lmao this is totally false. He was shitposting to impress Grimes saying he was gonna take twitter private at $420 and then Jack was like “ok deal” and the SEC was like “yup pay up”.
He does not now and did not then give a shit about his kid being trans, because he doesn’t give a shit about his kid at all. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
X/Twitter ISN't a news source!
wtf is wrong with people | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Undrlerstood. I really loved their technology stack and the number of their innovations and contributions to technology | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Whats misinformation? Someone disagreeing with the narrative and u get to decide whats fact and fiction?
Are people allowed to consume whatever information they want and come to their own conclusions? Are they not adults? Do we get to decide what people can and cant consume? Or are we only allowed to hear one side and we all blindly listen to it. This world is so fucked with wanting to control other people. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Misinformation is properly defined by the consensus of experts. For example, COVID misinformation would be determined by virologists. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Weird - community notes has been an amazing feature to combat misinformation. No other social media networks have it and I've repeatedly learned I like some false posts because of it.
So surprised anyone is putting X at the top. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Yes reddit is a clear beacon of factual information lmao lol | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
> Remember when Twitter was a world-class system design
lol. No.
It had/has the worst UI/UX of any social media site out there, both on website and mobile app.
Absolutely nothing makes sense. Nothing is intuitive. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
It is intentional, the only way to avoid this is do what millions of others have done. Close your account ,uninstall the app. If you really miss it try Bluesky. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
But then how can people come on here and post about how much better of a person they are cuz they are on Reddit and don’t even look at X cuz it’s filled with insert the worst type of thing you can think of! /s | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Yeah that’s news only to people who need a study to confirm that shit stinks …. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
It’s always been a cesspool | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Yes and also other issues | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Show us any source that he was any of that prior to the 2018 thai cave fiasco.
That's the issue, he might've been a racist conservative but he was so privately, he never really showed it in public until the thing with his kid and the thai cave thing started.
Back then his public image was liberal, weed smoking, spaceshipman and pro-green energy tesla man.
That mask fell off in 2018. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Not using a private company's service because you don't like the new management is not segregation. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Threads exists, it's already better than twitter has ever been | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
What do you mean always a conservative. He’s a pro clean energy liberal who always voted for pro climate change democrats before he snapped | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
And unbanned everyone | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
I’d say no place on the internet is safe - Abraham Lincoln | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Why hasn’t any rival especially threads been able to overtake it then? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Don’t crucify me please - just a different train of thought. What are we classifying as misinformation? I feel like in today’s society, misinformation and controversy are synonymous. Anytime 2 parties disagree about something, the opposing party is considered misinformation.
No, I don’t support Elon Musk, I just have a more middle ground approach to the situation. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
That’s not twitters policy - their line is to be the town square not to censor content people even when they are clearly wrong.
A better metric would be measuring how diverse the narrative is. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
That’s by design. Essentially, the reason why Musk bought Twitter was to turn it into a right wing misinformation generator | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
And water is wet. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Diversity of bad information is pointless | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Wow, Musk is really genius. To beat FB in this game… and by such a huge margin, you really need to know what you doing. This amount of bullshit takes some efforts to produce. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Unsurprising.
Misinformation is Elon Musk purpose. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
The problem is NONE OF THESE ARE NEWS SOURCES. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
There’s a difference between a social media website and a link aggregator. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
X allows people to say what they want but the polices that info with corrections. You still see the original post even after it’s corrected even if untrue. That’s a good thing and helps people understand when they are being lied to and by whom. This differs from Reddit , FB, Insta where you have no idea what the truth is. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Often, the purpose of misinformation is to muddy the waters, so that it’s difficult to distinguish what is true and what is made up. Good information has a factual basis, misinformation usually has nothing but emotional arguments, or vague allegations. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
There was a point during the Arab Spring where Twitter was vital for getting information about what was happening on the ground immediately. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Information from the senate’s investigation into how Russia attempted to influence the election via social media mentioned that they tried it but didn’t think it was as effective because Reddit’s users viewed a lot of things skeptically. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
That's why I rely on 4Chan | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
I’m convinced hitting “Not Interested” just shows you that content more | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
it's much worse than it has ever been. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
It’s run by Elon Musk. Lol go figure 😂 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
