A way to leave Community Notes

[kenara]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I signed up for Community Notes but I find that the content I am exposed to can be unpleasant and hurtful. Also, as a sometime Wikipedian, I thought it might be interesting or even fun. So far though, I've had no impact and engaging with flat-earth or other intentionally misleading nonsense is a waste of my time. I want out!

I haven't found a link, button etc to remove myself from the program.

Describe the solution you'd like
A way to quit the program, with an option to explain why.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative would be to stop using Twitter...

[update: I'm using Twitter less]

And, I can't even DM @lucasnantonio as I'm not verified!

Additional context

[elvey]

You could open a new account. But I hear you.

Update:
FAQ answers this:
Q:How do I opt-out of the program?
A:If you join the program but later want to leave, DM @communitynotes to let the team know.

I doubt this works though - reading between the lines of #84 (comment)
Please comment here if it does.

Have you tried reaching out directly with a DM to "communitynotes" X handle with this suggestion? You can also @ them publicly. I would use something like "Option to opt-out of contributing to Community Notes" or "No longer wish to participate in Community Notes"

[kenara]

Yep.. I sent them a DM two weeks ago!

Since then I've seen in the FAQ that that's the recommended way out. So I guess it's an FAQ or expected to be one!

Also, because it's my organization's account, I hesitate to @ them publicly..

@elvey I manage an organization account with 160k followers but mostly stay within "professional Twitter". It's only when I get drawn into "cesspit Twitter" (like when I've been shifted into "For you") that I see the junk stuff. Content moderation should be done by paid staff with psychosocial support.

[maietta]

@kenara I understand. Thanks for the response on this.

[ghost]

They still aren't responding.

"You can check in any time you like, but you can never leave"

[kenara]

@BlazingRaven495, nowadays, I mostly ignore invitations to review Community Notes. It's interesting to see from @jbaxter's Twitter account https://twitter.com/jaybaxter that Notes are actually thriving because in my corner of the Twitterverse, Notes are 99.9% system abuse since the underlying Tweets are factual.

I no longer want to leave. Seeing that a Tweet has Notes gives me a sense of what we're up against and I'm not obliged to click through and read the offensive content. Seeing an invitation to review a Note is still relevant to my Twitter experience, certainly more so than seeing an ad!

[ghost]

@jbaxter can honestly go fuck himself. He is a alt rightwing garbage pail that needs to be thrown into one for ignoring his community

damn, how is this not a thing?

[Pl8tinium]

i atleast found out how to opt out of the notifications

on the web interface

-> go to community notes on the left

-> click your profile

-> click the gear icon in the top right corner

-> configure how frequently u want to be messaged (never)

Removing notifications doesn't solve the core issue here. There should be a clear, simple way to just leave this program. I shouldn't have to make a new account to stop being inundated with community notes when 1/3rd of them are in bad faith, and another 1/3rd are clearly jokes or memes.

Since there's clearly no work being done to implement such a basic UX feature and since DMing 'CommunityNotes' on Twitter/X doesn't actually result in anything, anyone using Twitter in a web browser can use whatever browser plugin that allows custom CSS and add the following. It will hide the Community Notes link in the left-hand menu, as well as the community note/proposed community note from underneath a tweet (the third line targets some small text that occasionally appears when notes are only shown to select audiences):

[aria-label*="Community Notes"],
[data-testid*="birdwatch"],
[data-testid*="birdwatch"] + div[style*="text-overflow"] {
display: none !important;
}

I imagine this will change at some point (given the data-testid attribute) but at the time of writing this, this has been my solution for a week or so.
