I can't believe how much worse the reality of Musk's Twitter is for disaster response I was worried about a lack of central, breaking news, slow comms, etc. eroding capacity Instead it's active disinfo campaigns, conspiracy theories, and insane partisan takes actually ATTACKING what's there

Just for reference, that is EXACTLY the same strategy the extreme right used in Brazil in a massive flood earlier this year. Saying that that the government is getting in the way of volunteers, that people should take matters on their own, making scandals of small things to divert attention.

idek if "the left controls the weather" is a serious take but there's so much noise that's all about cheap political shots

Anything that boosts engagement means a payout. And there's basically no moderation...
