Actively discourage those who spread lies, desinformation and don't contribute. KISS.

See, the problem is that I don't know of a simple way to actively discourage those who spread lies and disinformation, without also actively discouraging those who spread truth that most people don't yet agree with. I'm not really OK with unpopular truths becoming collateral damage in the war against lies and disinformation.

  A social network where you rate other people from left to right. You also rank articles with truthyness and quality. Let the people become the judge of truth, but in a more transparent way. If i comment on an article in a socialist way, you'd mark me leftist. So my comments then are highlighted in shades of blue depending on how far left my ranking is by other community members. Likewise for Trump supporters. Articles could also be ranked / flagged as dangerous (inciting hate, violence, etc) and be removed or at least boldened, or as hackernews does greyed out, so it's less prominent without complete dismissal, yet let the person not see the greying or know they've been greyed. Something along those lines, I'm sure other tweaks could be made to make a platform like twitter that's more democratically policed - that keeps as much content as possible, but is very transparent on where that content lie in truth / political slant.
