I downvote soley over blue checkmarks.
If the poster is paying for extra engagement on Twitter, at this point, there is nothing authentic about their posts. And I don't want to amplify that even indirectly.
Zohran is collaborating with a genocidal mass murderer but I'm glad you draw the line at blue checkmarks. You have very consistent standards.
Friend, these are either bots talking to bots, or at least one poster so messed up they’re paying Twitter for more algorithmic attention.
Far as I’m concerned, its like an LLM talking to an LLM about Mamdani. What does it have to do with reality?
Do you know who Lowkey is?
A musician.
And Pop Base is a (apparently very popular) social media tabloid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_Base
So? I was wrong about them being bots, but it doesn't matter if it's Obama himself in the thread; it's all on a screwed up platform that gives the illusion of free speech.
