This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Why have the company do it, when we can make the people do it for us!
Delete your Meta accounts, ffs
This might actually end up being a good thing. If users can fact-check stuff instead of relying kn Meta to do it for us. It seems bad, but there are a lot of people willing to correct their misinformation.
On the flipside, why are people still using facebook? It's like 90% AI slop these days.

Same reason people are still using Instagram and Xitter. Social Graph. FB has 3B MAU.
The community notes appear many hours after the original has been posted, meaning that majority of interactions will be before any notes will be attached. And even the process of choosing the community notes is not transparent, so you can never be sure that the note does its job even after it'd added.

I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former.

Dick move by alleged pedophile Mark Zuckerberg.
Mark Zuckerberg raped my roomba.
Think you have a typo there. Should say "by" roomba right? That's what I heard.
You dare sully my roomba's name?
I think the impending bankruptcy is going to take care of that when all their vacuums stop working without their app.
Mark Zuckerberg carries a bag of his own farts and makes his wife smell them every hour
I wanted to fact check this, but I guess Meta doesn't have a tool for that, anymore. I'll have to accept it at face value.
I've added a note that this is true.
Meta-free since January!
There's no way this can cause the Earth to be catapulted into the Sun.
