I'm adding on to this:

I just joined, and already some of the major subwikis are trainwrecks of trolling and manipulation. One subwiki is being spammed by some kind of unrelated protest group. Someone's attempting to hijack another into a religious subwiki. Yet another is full of comments like "I'm not judging anyone, I just don't see why Democrats love socialism so much. Why do they want to murder innocent children?".

I understand the site is brand new, and I'm guessing it launched with zero moderation. I'm not writing it off yet -- there's lots of potential here. But given what we've seen with Facebook and even the Reddit hivemind, I think it's important to have a transparent discussion on how WT.social will combat manipulation.

Exactly how far back in your head do your eyes roll any time you read one of the following?

• A corporation announcing they're spinning up a division to incorporate blockchain into (insert product here, such as sandwich bags or mortgages)
• A Redditor confidently announcing that blockchain will bring about the end of the banking industry by 2021
• A crypto enthusiast explaining that (insert new crypto here) is basically "just nextgen defi with systemic blockchain deliberation via AI to undermine conventional financial manifolds using fluid yet established free market principles"
