VIEWS ON X
My opinion of X as a social media platform. Firstly let's not pretend it is a free speech platform, that delusion is demonstrably false on so many levels even its own inbuilt AI can't deny it. Ask Grok. https://x.com/i/grok?conversation=1939848121061974160 X forces people to be blunt, with character limits alone there is cause for understanding that it funnels people who would like to add nuance and or broad context to something written. It is an enforced protocol, and it stifles conversation for anyone who doesn't pay. This is clear in many ways but none more than direct redress, which is why those who don't have a verification blue tick lose advantage in a debate and context in any attempt at conversation. Disadvantage how ? You can't add to community notes, except to rate them when made by others. This impedes the ability to point out even the blindingly obvious. Oh and if you add a link that wont work, Boss man himself said he doesn't want any links to outs...
