Twitter finally rolling out Community Notes in India

Twitter finally rolling out Community Notes in India- Grapevine

Woke up to a "Vikshit Bharat" WhatsApp message, a feedback system that should have implemented in these 10 years. Coincided perfectly with the announcement of LS election dates today.

The GOI's WhatsApp messaging isn't free; we indirectly pay for it.

With so many startups, why can't we create a political party that doesn't fail like this? 
We're out of choices, and that's why the government will likely be re-elected.

In this country, best to make less than taxable income and shift to T3/4 City

I'm not normally into politics but this caught my eye on Twitter :p

Company with 10 Cr profit donates 425 Crores to Electoral Bonds. and the guy who owns it is head of accounts for Mota Bhai

Dheere Dheere sab insighs aa jaayenge

Dont get your hopes high. Kuch nhi hone wala. The average voter is dumb. He won't understand this and still vote for them

What are your favourite mobile app for general, business, startup, tech news? Indian and international news?
I use Inshorts and The Hindi, others apps are random.

Also podcasts which give a daily/weekly brief recs are helpful too! 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Grapeviners

Over the last month or so we announced two massive products that are as big as Grapevine itself:   1. Private Company groups with verification 
2. Salaries on Grapevine 

Thousands of you have since adopted these products, but most importantly, you gave us great feedback and we are working on making these more helpful

Here’s what you can expect from Grapevine in the next few weeks: 

1. Direct Messaging on Grapevine (yes yes, I know at this point everyone seems to be giving up on this xD)
2. V2 Update to Salaries - making it more useful with more data points 
3. Launching verification and company private groups for 100 companies (we will keep doing this where we have enough people)
4. A better feed: We are hoping to show you less of posts you’ve already seen (A common complain with Grapevine)
5. A new approach to communities on Grapevine
6. A feature buff to Polls - making them even more insights rich
7. Better Link type posts - currently links on Grapevine are broken
8. Grapes V2: People will get grapes for creating ‘Chatty posts’ and ‘Deep Polls’ over and above the current definition of Grapes that is just focused on the number of likes you get
9. An Official Grapevine mixer (details soon!)

As always, your feedback and spreading the good word about Grapevine is always appreciated

What can you expect from Grapevine in the next few weeks?

Koo is shutting down!!

Many opposition leaders posted today on Twitter saying they got this alert message from Apple warning that the government might be tracking their device. This is absolutely shocking if true! 😳😳

Government getting ready for next year elections? Is this the largest democracy we boast about?

Government spying on Opposition?😳

I really liked the concept. It has best of both worlds. Easiest way to create content is audio, and consume is text.

However, I think it will suffer because it might not promote controversial stuff or negative comments.

Humans have a negativity bias. Name-calling, insults or blind hate, are things that no one likes - but also things that no one can look away from. And those engaged in it can't easily pull away. 

One of the reasons why Grapevine is so good because in an anonymous forum, people might be less likely to step in and stop negative behavior. People either promote propaganda of one company or to spread shit about other companies.


Even X is infamous for rewarding conflict. Most negative comments come from anon folks. elafda get the best engagement.  


The audio first social media app Airchat has a second order effect that people can write way more mean shit than say it aloud. Plus it's not natively anon. 

I really wish it does work, in a world where there's so much negativity, we need airchat to thrive.
