Yeah, I don’t know how you could reasonably measure it and there’s lots of other stuff going on. I was initially pretty “meh” on notes, but a lot of the content that would have otherwise been boosted by algos and endorsed via blue checks now gets cooled off pretty quickly because Notes set the record straight.
Having seen this in action a few times, I wish it were around for the 2015-2020 timeline. I could easily see it being more effective than outright censorship at addressing Trump’s election fraud claims or the various claims about policing in America (particularly egregious information a la Michael Brown “hands up, don’t shoot” stuff). Probably could have reduced a lot rioting and cooled a lot of racial strife / election denialism. Of course, this is all hypothetical speculation and I can’t prove it.
