    It’s a good idea but I who will decide what is misinformation or not? And about bots… I think the web is doomed. Ai will make sure everything is just bot content in the end.

    lemmy.world engages in its own form of censorship when it wholesale bans other instances and its members actively downvote posts pejorative of biden and gaza; this seems like it’s getting off on bad footing.
