Meta fired its fact-checkers, citing concerns of liberal bias, and replaced them with a version of X's "Community Notes." How's that going?

I just rolled up to the #HandsOff protest in my hometown of Marshfield, MA - a small coastal town about 30 miles south of Boston that’s a bit redder than MA overall. Huge crowds, content incoming for @motherjones.com
