Whatever they did to make sure the community notes are actually fact checks and not just smug communists using unearned authority as a bludgeon is really impressive engineering.
The fact that it exists like this right now despite the 20 years of subversion practice communists have had on every other website + any inside info the 75% of fired employees brought with them gives me hope.
I saw a lot of those in non English twitter also, usually under "fact checkers" and lefties. Pretty cool feature all around and democratized fact checking.
The only time I've seen it be wrong is when it stated that only Congress has the right to pass gun control laws *according to the Constitution*, which is obviously false. The Constitution makes it perfectly clear that the RKBA shall not be infringed and, obviously, the original BoR is a prohibition on government.
It got me thinking: this could eventually be used to spread false information (it already was, actually) and people would just accept it as truth.
It can be hit or miss, but it's a god damned sight better than what professional fact-checkers are doing. Not sure if "nothing" will actually be better, though.

Communists will eventually find a way to game it though.
Wikipedia/reddit all started out fairly honest.
But trans/pedo dogwalkers have 24 hours a day of free time to push their fantasy/agenda. They almost always find a way to game the system
