Would you trust community Notes on Truth Social?

They aren't a tool to identify fake news just an additional information layer which you either trust or xou don't.

>If your tools are poor, make better tools

If you are a bad painter buy better brushes.

You solution doesn't give the people the tools you still have just a source which claims to show what's true.

The real tool is the user himself using his brain. But that's hard to achive.

If you trust community notes on Twitter, I have news for you (https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/5080048). Community notes are used as just another channel to spread misinformation, but this time under convenient guise of truth, and that is why it is a flawed design.
I know, but I needed an example where the tool as such is ca. 100% useless to show it's not a real tool but just a additional layer of some authority you need to trust.
Ah, perhaps I thought I was objecting to you though we were mostly in agreement.
Exactly, Twitter tends to be liberal and so their community responses also tend to be liberal.
