"Since all content on the platform can be edited or deleted by other users, he believes there's a good incentive for good behavior by users."
There is zero chance this policy survives having a million+ users intact.
- fittslickare 7y agoYes, as the wiki model is in despair.
- TulliusCicero 7y agoSocial network posts aren't a collection of verifiable facts. The idea of someone being able to edit my post about my family vacation strikes me as more than a little bizarre.
- Loughla 7y agoIt will become power users controlling the narrative. Sort of like how edits and that approval process on wikipedia operate right now.
- corobo 7y agoYeah I gotta be honest the two sites I both like and hate most on the internet are Wikipedia and StackOverflow. Great resources in most cases but my god the moderation is.. overbearing. I have my doubts that'll work for a social network. Good luck to them, but I'll have probably forgotten I signed up by the time they next send me an email. Side note you seem to be able to bypass the signup queue by visiting your own friend share link.

- sergiotapia 7y ago"Good behavior" is double speak for "following the groupthink". Just look at wikipedia for an example of how bad this can become, where 1/3 of all content is edited and moderated by one dude with all his biases. This wiki model is not the solution.
- lucasmullens 7y agoCould you point to something specific about the "1/3 of all content is edited and moderated by one dude"? Not sure where to look.
