No I wasn't familiar with brushing, I'll have to look into it. When you say powers that be, that's basically the community, I mentioned mods but I don't think it should be "policed" or moderated by some upper level overlords or even me if I were to build it, the power of the system lies in community connections and if the community is intent on seeing themselves better as a whole then I would hope they themselves would make good decisions here. Your suggestion points in the direction of my thinking.

I think if we want to (re)build trust (society is losing/lost it at large, skepticism and cynicism is growing), we need to focus on transparency and reproducibility

[bruhmanfiflo]

I agree. Now there's just searching for ideas on how to do that

[verdverm]

I think ATProto is an interesting foundation, especially considering the social graph that supports a review system. Lots of stuff would come for free and it is a growing network

ATProto is also designed to be extensible, so new record types, apps, and use-cases can live on the same social graph, removing the need to bootstrap your own social graph

Happy to get you more links or chat on discord if this approach appeals to you. I'm thinking on related ideas

[bruhmanfiflo]

Would really appreciate that, thanks!
