Facebook is starting a community notes program. I think you might have to sign up for it. Basically, it allows someone to interject their opinion before you post. I came across it the other day on threads without realizing what it was. The post I was responding to remarked about something Trump claimed, which I knew wasn't true. So my response was, "Trump is a chronic liar." When I went to post, up comes a pop up that said something like, Before you post, be aware that many have posted similar remarks. To improve the quality of the discussion, would you reconsider your remarks?"
I ignored it and posted my original thoughts.
Point is, this is a valuable tool for the MAGAs who want to control the direction of a discussion. So be prepared.

It was just one example. Their responses were probably based on multiple choices in some beta format.

I don't believe it was an 'automatic' payment--- now I very vaguely recall filing a 'claim' for it
