How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.
You do your research :)
Yes of course.
But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?
What is a method in THAT?
Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?
I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.
This is not about protecting you, this is about you learning (or so i think) to differentiate truth from lie.
Thats what i think anyway :)
I did my research at the heritage foundation.
Well thats your loss.
