Dear @CommunityNotes and @CNviolations, Here is my first impression. I cut my teeth on @Wikipedia within months of @lsanger having co-founded it (yes, @jimmy_wales is co-founder, but he was still thinking transactionally—he hadn't ruled out selling out wikipedia.org for wikipedia.com). I know what it means to make an internet property more valuable with my donated labor. I have also a invested considerable time as a #GoogleGuide already. I use it all the time, and I find the work satisfying. The question I am asking myself now is, "Do I want to give away even a minute of my time to this program, Community Notes (CN)?" I carry considerable baggage about @ElonMusk (EM) abandoning the Twitter brand. I am extremely suspicious about his motives to achieve world domination with his @X brand. Why on earth would I want to work to make this platform better? I do not feel loyalty to this community. I am already having to pay $3 a month for minimal premium features. I was never even offered to contribute to CN until I started paying. Pardon my bluntness. I say this to shock you into attention: x.com is a whore, a soulless immortal whore. You, the staff, are the survivors from EM's hostile takeover. Surely you have personal motives for renting your brains to your corporate masters. I am going to need some convincing. Can you give me some personal connections to the human beings donating their labor to Community Notes? Since I have the space, here is my @claudeai prompt: Put the concept of making corporations' platforms better into context. I am satisfied with my relationship with Google as an unpaid Google Guide. I make Google Maps better for everyone. I use it and I benefit from it. However, I have reservations about doing the same for x.com as a member privileged to rate and, eventually, to write Community Notes (CN). For historical context, I am a strong support of the Hacker Ethic. I have contributed to FLOSS over the years (only a token amount, but I have some cred), and my proudest achievement is the early work I did on Wikipedia—back when it was powered by MeatballWiki! My contributions, and those of others during that time, are not easy to findy anymore. Yet, I take great pride in what I accomplished. Fast forward 26 years. Do I start from scratch at x.com to do the same? This time, I only enrich Elon Musk and the shareholders. Indications are strong that the parent company, SpaceX, will go public this year. That’s another complication. I have a complicated relationship with Reddit. I am a non-anonymous Redditor. I have only token karma, and I own only one share of $RDDT, but I am pleased that my share has increased 254% in value! If I donate my labor to CN, it would be partly motivated by my desire to contribute to an increase in my own wealth once shares of SpaceX are for sale. I asked Grok the same. Here are links to both convos: - claude.ai/share/83c9cc2c-dcb… - x.com/i/grok/share/d6f751d3d… cc @lsanger @svchekanov (because you have both chosen to pay for Premium features, and I respect your opinions, if you wish to chime in)

Happy Saturday everyone, come with this ole coyote and grab a Chicken shawarma bowl with me at Pita King in the Paddock Market here in Ocala. 🐺🍛 #furry #fursuit #googleguide #fursuiter #fursuiting

Hey Google, and Google Maps, @Google @googlemaps I am a verified level 6 Google Guide for over 15 years with thousands of edits and contributions and over 2 million views. I have submitted many Edits on name corrections for many places in Tehran and Iran since 2022, many still have not been approved, a few declined and some still pending, can you please review and approve the name edits I have submitted. All of the name changes I have submitted are the real names of the places, buildings, roads, historical places, universities, parks and sport facilities and complexes that was named originally after being established from around 1926 to 1979 by the people and organizations who contributed in the constructions and constitution of these places. Almost all of current names set on them mistakenly by the IRGC and the Islamic republic regime are not legitimate and are not valid and not true. Please take an action and review these name changes and approve them. Thank you #Google #GoogleMaps #Iran #IranWar #Pahlavi #JavidShah #GoogleGuide @googleguide
