Decentralisation, self-sufficiency, self-sovereignty.

It's a consequence of the neurotic offence-archaeology on Twitter: "OMG, THAT PERSON LIKED A TWEET FROM THAT LITERAL NAZI" thing.

I've accidentally liked or boosted a bunch of stuff whilst scrolling. I kinda hope there's never a mechanism to 'undo' it, so people learn to just chill.

Yes, that might be one way (though many Wikipedia wars are over the titles and *existence* of articles, not just their content). There are several collaborative governance / collective intelligence platforms (eg Loomio, democracy.earth etc) which are trying to solve similar problems. Will be fascinating to see if frictionless micropayments makes any of them more feasible.

It's partly a people thing, and partly an algo thing, I reckon. Also, the current lack of quote tweet here helps, IMO: on Twitter, half the quote tweets are effectively saying "Look at this idiot! Dog pile them now!" In contrast, a simple boost still invites one to form one's own opinion.

Been thinking about this too.

Wikipedia is great for some things, but still prone to the political bias of editors. Some better game theory is needed to keep them honest & neutral.

Zaps / micropayments provide a possible incentive, but the danger of a simple zap reward (~ single upvote) is that it may encourage political populism on one side or other ("Trump/Biden is a dork" would likely get millions of partisan zaps).

Some kind of net up/down vote might be better - but this still fails to achieve balance on Reddit. Might work better on Wikipedia, though, given that it's not so divided into sub-communities?

Stay here. The past few years have shown the awful, pernicious consequences of media censorship (and, unfortunately, I suspect it will take a while longer before we all realise the extent of the lies we were fed by the MSM & controlled media).

Just coincidental coincidences, like the food factory fires, fren. ๐Ÿ™„

Yeah. But several of us are gently orange-pilling him, and once he's there, he'll realise his error.

Well, censored and surveilled are somewhat different, right?

100% there are three letter agencies watching this protocol... they just can't do much about it.

Its mainly for boys with old-school calculators... ๐Ÿ˜œ
