I think it's cool that they're actively trying to innovate in this space and relatively in the open.

My favorite is when someone complains about their view count or something and head of product replies with screenshots or stats showing the person promoted some crypto scam or is AI slop. Sometimes he agrees and addresses the complaints.

Compare that to other PR bots that say "sorry you experienced that, send us a DM". What other social network is actually trying to innovate and engage w people in the open.

The move to include people's country of origin was also brilliant. It was eye opening when so many accounts that were v interested in American politics turned out to be from se asia.

It does not prove that X is running this at all, we can't verify server-side code without some sort of Enclave and so-on.
