So how would a credibility system work and be implemented. What I envision is something similar to the up votes..
You have a credibility score, it starts a 0 neutral.
You post something
People don’t vote on if they like, the votes are for “good faith”
Good faith is
You posted according to rules and started a discussion
You argued in good faith and can separate with opposing opinions
You clarified a topic for someone
If someone has a polar opinion to yours and is being down voted because people don’t understand the system
Etc.
I have an idea. Have every single article or comment posted by a user scanned by an LLM. Prompt the LLM to identify logical fallacies in the post or comment. Post the user logical fallacies counts on a public scoreboard hosted on each federated instance. Now, ban the top 10% scoring users each quarter who have a fallacy ratio surpassing some reasonable good faith objective.
Pros: Everyone is judged by the same impassive standard.
Cons: 1) A fucking LLM has to burn coal for every stupid post we make. 2) LLM prompt injection/hijacking vulnerability.
