It’s not that it doesn’t matter, it’s that by the time people add context, the people that need that context already saw the tweet and move on with their life thinking that musk “owned” Wikipedia.
Its only us fuckers that don’t follow him that get these tweets with context included.
The issue with the context is that people don’t really search for old tweets, they either see it live or, sadly, read a screen capture of the tweet. If that capture was taken pre context, it doesn’t matter what users say, the twee lt will be spread as-is.
That’s a good point about the ‘liveness’ of the tweet I didn’t think about. I’m not on twitter so most tweets I see are screencaps, taken at the time of posting usually probably, for all I know tweets I see could be fake altogether hah. This feature is great for their business in more ways then, it makes it look like they care about the truthfulness of what is spread on the site, but still allows for uninformed propagandizing.
