The 29 Funniest Community Notes of 2024
Twitter may be dying a slow, painful death, but not all of Elon Musk’s incessant updates to the app have been bad. In fact, one feature has harnessed the power of what made it such a beautiful place to scroll in the first place: the humble Community Note.
The crowd-sourced feature is the perfect tool to combat the misinformation that Musk has allowed to run rampant on the platform, emboldening users to add much-needed context to clickbait and quotes taken completely out-of-context. Community Notes also have become the best method for dunking on weirdos and hitting bigots with a “Well, actually…” For instance, as one liar found out, if you try to brag about the multimillion-dollar house you “bought” at 19, you should first make sure that the house you’re posting a picture of isn’t still listed for sale on Zillow.
But the best part about the feature is that nobody’s safe — no brand, sitting government official or tech mogul can wriggle their way out of getting fact-checked into oblivion. So, without further ado, here are some of the funniest Community Note roasts from the last 12 months that have kept us from completely making the jump to Bluesky.
