How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

Yes of course.

But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?

What is a method in THAT?

Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?

I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.

This is not about protecting you, this is about you learning (or so i think) to differentiate truth from lie.

Thats what i think anyway :)
