(11,012 posts)Community notes allow for a correction or counter-opinion to be posted in such a way that users see the criticism/correction alongside the original post.
So if someone posts an egregious lie, you might see a community note saying: "Users note this is a lie according to this article."
Twitter uses community notes, and it is awesome. I have seen some epic slapdowns of bullshit on Twitter because of them.
I'm not sure the feature you're describing is even community notes, though. In your case, FB is letting you know you're about to post something that would be extremely redundant at that point. And even then, you can still go ahead with that. I mean, I don't need to read the same comment fifty times, but people do what they do.
Frankly, I would love community notes on DU where corrections are allowed to be posted inside a false or misleading OP. So much stuff that isn't true gets posted here because people don't vet sources, and then you see forty people replying who never see when a member points out a correction and the OP hasn't edited.
