The fundamental issue with decentralization is the challenge of decentralized information governance. This can be summarized by the idea that there's no cost to making a statement.

However, there is a solution: Reputation.

Reputation addresses the issue of cost without involving money.

I believe that without a Decentralized Web of Trust Reputation (DWoTR) system, an open decentralized social media or wiki platform will never achieve critical mass.

Until DWoTR is implemented, a decentralized wiki remains a futile endeavor.

Yes, but the content of the wiki needs to be filtered by the web of trust uniquely for each client. Reputation is local not global.

Exactly, reputation and trust are subjective. Therefore, the Nostr platform is ideal, as each client manages its own filtering. The relay server merely provides the information without interference.

Wiki has millions of articles, how can they control all of that content?
