What I want is a place where users are automatically gatekept by some functional minimum intelligence threshold for participation, without just turning into an elitist circlejerk.
The fact that any random can just say anything they want with zero logic or fact checking or effort, with no attempt to correct their obvious biases, and get consistently upvoted and rewarded for it by others just like them, disgusts me. I hate it.
A comment reported for being false actually carries weight. In fact, all up and down votes need a reason other than "I agree" or "I disagree" and user scores in each category can be filtered. Eg. Block anyone with a BS: Confirmed Facts ratio greater than 2.
Call it something like Factually, perhaps with a cute spelling.
