Why?
It's like opting out of the genepool. Twitter/X is still where everything happens and where you get closest to the source.

Even the most vocal Spaceman haters come back whenever something big is happening. This was reaffirmed again recently with the entire OpenAI CEO saga.
Add to that community notes, the single best social media innovation.
- threeseed 3y agoBecause W3C should be supporting open platforms like Mastodon. And community notes is a nice addition but it isn't a replacement for moderation.
- duskwuff 3y agoIt's only appropriate; ActivityPub is one of the standards they manage. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
- memish 3y agoCommunity notes is the replacement for s/moderation/censorship. It's far more truthful and accurate than any s/moderation/censorship committee. This has been repeatedly demonstrated.
- threeseed 3y agoThe problem with community notes is that it requires a quorum of users. Which it makes it unsuitable for fast paced topics. This has been repeatedly demonstrated.
- memish 3y agoYou're right that it's too slow. It would help if they sent a notification to everyone who liked or interacted with such a tweet, to give them the community notes update. And or resurface it in the timeline.
- ilikehurdles 3y agoIt does. I’ve liked and quote-tweeted content that got community noted and received a notification when that happened.
- sgift 3y agoCommunity notes are great and should be copied. That they have to be used on a shitload of mundane topics cause the fascist in chief thinks "muh, free speech" is not. Hopefully, sooner or later one of the alternatives gets enough traction and this saga is over.
- celdon25 3y agoI think it should be copied too, but I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call Elon a fascist.
- rsynnott 3y agoCertainly at least fascist-curious.
- sgift 3y agoIs raging anti-semite more appropriate? The last retweet I've seen was quite explicit.

- celdon25 3y agoI heard he was a "speciesist" too if you want to tack that on.
- acdha 3y agoWho knows what he personally believes but he has no trouble offering them free service, promoting them, or targeting many of the same people they dislike (journalists; groups opposed to disinformation, anti-semitism, etc.; supporters of fair elections). Perhaps that doesn’t make him a fascist but at the very least he doesn’t mind hanging out with them and laughing at their memes.
- jjulius 3y ago>... but I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call Elon a fascist. At the very least, he's an enabler.
- jjulius 3y ago>It's like opting out of the genepool. And sometimes that's a perfectly fine thing to do. >Twitter/X is still where everything happens and where you get closest to the source. Please explain why this concept would be vital for W3C, and how it might be detrimental to their existence to opt out.
- knute 3y ago> Twitter/X is still where everything happens It's not where the W3C happens, clearly. That statement becomes less true by the day as more and more accounts leave.

- jacquesm 3y ago> It's like opting out of the genepool. You misspelled cesspool.
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>Even the most vocal Spaceman haters come back whenever something big is happening. they aren't coming back because it's twitter, they come back because they need to reach a lot of people. That isn't unique to twitter in the grand scheme of things, it's just the current crown bearer.
