Twitter did exactly one thing right, and it’s community notes. Lemmy could definitely use a feature like that where the users can provide context that corrects clickbait headlines. Other than comments of course.
THANK YOU. I’ve said many times, lemmy will upvote anything they believe to be true without a second thought. Then we turn around and make fun of gullible Boomers on FaceBook.
Around 1999 I learned to fact check if a headline or meme sounded crazy. Still applies today y’all!

On the backend, Twitter must use some kind of (pre-LLM) language model to generate the sentiment of comments? I’ve never used Twitter before; how is it generated?
Lemmy could theoretically do that, but it’d either have to hit an API or host it with their server resources. And they’d need some expertise.

I’m not sure how they do it. I’d be super interested to know.

Well, ML is kinda toxic right now, and even a hint of “let’s draft community notes with a language model” is going to be shot down by the huge fediverse anti-AI community. So I think that’s, unfortunately, a non-starter.
And again, mods purely doing it would be problematic.

Yeah. To be fair, everyone’s gotta slowly learn that.
But I think it’s fair for communities/mods to lay down some posting standards.

I remember this happening back when everyone was using forums. This is a "Social Media" problem, not just a Lemmy problem. I have no idea how to fix it, but it's been around longer than votes have been a thing.
