Interessant svar fra Elon Musks AI Chat når man spørger hvem der spreder mest misinformation på X. Læste om andre der fik dette svar, så måtte lige prøve selv, og den er god nok. Det er Elon Musk.

#Musk would be very unhappy to see this ad, which was accepted and then rejected by the #fascist cowards at #WaPo. Would be a shame if it got a head of steam on social media.

For everyone who's new to Mastodon or who's back. Let's re-share this great video by @tilvids! Although #Mastodon and other #fediverse projects are not perfect (yet), the fediverse (incl. Mastodon) is the only way forward.

TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.

Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.

Imagine walking up to someone 15 years ago and going
"Hey, in the future Google will just flat out make shit up sometimes"
"What"
"Yeah, like there will be a time where you can search for a movie that doesn't exist, and it'll show you trailers, articles discussing it, who's directing it, interviews from the actors, and all of it will just be completely fake and presented as real"
"What the hell are you talking about"
"Yeah and it won't just be Google either, Microsoft and other big companies will be touting it as a revolution worth billions of dollars, as their products make shit up on the spot thousands of times a day"
"Dude, are you high"
"Entire product lines will be rebranded around their lightning fast make-shit-up technology, and they'll even try to sell this making shit up as a creativity tool for writers and artists"
​ "Get the fuck away from me, I'm calling the police"

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
