Notices by Today in X (todayintwitter@mastodon.social)

Inaccurate tweets about Ukraine got community noted. Musk is now changing the system.

State media does its thing. https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-says-hell-fix-community-notes-on-x-after-it-disagreed-with-him-2000566212

Happy new year.

Even a 5,000 word essay wouldn’t be able to accurately describe what is happening on that website right now.

Beautiful. https://timesnewdumbass.co

I try to keep non-X-related posts on here to a minimum, but I have to do this.

If you're in America and eligible to vote, please do so. Your vote is your voice, and our democracy only works when everyone participates. In 2020, only 2/3 of eligible voters ended up casting a ballot. That's not enough. We need to shatter the expectations and go to the polls in droves.

This election will be close, but we have a chance at defeating fascism. Make your voice count. Go vote today and make Elon mad.

Woof. https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/17/elon-musks-x-is-changing-its-privacy-policy-to-allow-third-parties-to-train-ai-on-your-posts/

Bets on if this will turn out like Ron DeSantis’s campaign launch from last year?

Elon Musk's antics are actively killing people. This is beyond “anti-woke” — it's doing serious damage to real people, irrespective of their politics. FEMA is rerouting resources to combat misinformation online right as a deadly hurricane is about to hit Florida, all thanks to Elon Musk and his cronies.

The true human destruction these politics-obsessed psychopaths are inflicting on this country cannot be overstated.

X has removed 2,361 accounts over hateful content in the first half of 2024, compared to one million in the second half of 2021, according to its latest transparency report: https://www.wired.com/story/x-twitter-first-transparency-report-since-elon-musks-takeover-is-finally-here/

Is that code for “We didn't buy enough servers?”

I accuse the sky of being blue.

The video, to be fair, is undeniably hilarious.

Anyone who is not following me is illegally boycotting me and I will be suing you. This case is closed.

Deathly bug plaguing X right now.

X rolled out a new app today for macOS: just the iPad app running on Apple silicon Macs. There's only one problem: Anyone who uses it will be suspended within a few hours. This is not a joke.

To make matters worse, the functioning app auto-updates to this faulty app, suspending the accounts of everyone who used the old app for no reason, automatically, with not even a suspension notice email.

How do I know about this? I, uh, learned the hard way.

This is real, by the way — this is a customized trending topic created by Shitter’s Grok nonsense.
