dont need AI for this. its why we have systems like webs of trust and peer verification. standard crypto + some social communication solves a lot of these problems.

How can a web of trust prevent Joe-bob from claiming bullshit like in the OP?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

first question you'd need to answer is how joe-bob got into the web of trust in the first place. in order for them to abuse their position they needed to be added to your web.

literally what bluesky is doing with their filters.

if you want to automate it.... run statistical analysis on the user for how many people ban them. you eventually find the people who are heavy but accurate with the ban button and can use them as inputs. and can use them as early gauges for new accounts. combine that with account age and you'll eventually get a fairly robust and automated platform for banning misinformation accounts.
