Which social media do you consider a trustworthy source of information?

@ash_grover do you also post here? If yes, how do you manage that you are not blocked from posting?

@busmark_w_nika I post here sometimes, but the posts don't come up to the top* for some mysterious reason.

@ash_grover Pity :D I wanted to have some good guidance :D

@sentry_co They are very strict that's the truth but on this media, I have never received such kind of scam. It is well moderated but as you said, very hard to push something through certain communities. Too much clustering (bubbles, echo chambers) so this way the information are for me more decluttered and when I start to understand how each of those individual communities thinks, the information is better sorted for me. But as I said, this is valid for me, not for others that's why I asked.

@busmark_w_nika Problem with non-reddit SoMe's is that anti-truth is encouraged, because it creates more controversy. If I say something that is not true, it will get 100x views because people will react to it emotionally. Reddit rewrads newsworthyness. Hence why its a better source of truth. But this can change. If other SoMes finetune their algos to favour newsworthyness over controversy for controversy sake. I think it will happen. I think people are tiered of the drama.

@marcusfreeland How can you find out what was made by AI? Do you analyse it atm?

@busmark_w_nika you can usually tell by the image used and then the posts. Usually they have other ai generated images and the posts are always think pieces, not so much about the length but just the content’s tone. They’re better put together than the bot accounts for sure.

@elenat It is sad but true.

@jackyliu Isn't it in chinese?

@busmark_w_nika There are a lot of American users download it recent days, because the vibe of this community is kind. You can give it a try.

@shabb_katoch yep, X has many things in the feed but lately shows me some non-related stuff to me :D

@whatshivamdo I dunno... X is now full of irrelevant things for me – crypto etc. Like the algo pushes me totally random stuff.

@26th_official I also heard this info on X :D

@terabitcoins The internet used to be better place (I literally moved from TV to the internet not to see what was in TV). Now, the content from TV is on the Internet.

@busmark_w_nika Facts! Sad but true.

@sonu_goswami2 Also think the same! :)

@hilario_poguet yep, the biggest social media, so the higher chances to not be trustworthy because of many users and AI.

@freddydeveloper YouTube is also cool, IMO.

@busmark_w_nika Without a doubt, my intention is not to promote anything, which is why I won’t mention the name of the plugin, however, I can assure you that YouTube—despite how it may seem—is an excellent news source. Using RSS, I created a plugin that retrieves news from popular media outlets and analyzes those same news stories on YouTube to find related videos. 74% of the time, it successfully finds a video related to a given news story. So, in short, YouTube is a wonderful means of communication.

@aniruddhaadak LI – do you have there some regular news? Because on this platform it is more about career successes.
