When we started @CommunityNotes , all the concept testing showed people across the political spectrum wanted it. But could we build it? Would it work? Half a million contributors later, four new unaffiliated/external research studies + large scale stats show how effective it is.

In September, we began requiring that new contributors unlock the ability to write notes by first making valuable ratings. This increased average note quality so much that, today, we are retroactively requiring that all contributors meet these criteria in order to write notes.

Hi Twitter! Many of you (especially in Japan!) have said youโ€™d like to be able to easily + privately save Tweets for later. Right now, people bookmark Tweets by liking, DM-ing to themselves, or Retweeting. But this could be easier.

Our data also shows that notes tend to be helpful to people from a wide range of views, even when you might not expect it based on the content. A reason to be optimistic that many people want to be informed, and can be open-minded even when something conflict with their priors.

When those on the right and the left are attacking and praising Community Notes all at the same time, it probably means that community notes are quite accurate and fair. People hate being community noted, and their first reaction before realizing that they were wrong is usually

@smallgovlizard @elonmusk In designing @CommunityNotes , we assumed from day 1 that people would attempt to brigade it, so it needed to be resistant to such attacks. It does multiple things to prevent this (account criteria, reputation, etc) but the biggest is that it does not work by majority rule.
