Wikipedia, Twitter and reddit are not able to handle contested ideas

phil0s • a year ago • Public Case

Wikipedia is actually about consensus. The speed of the edits 'back to consensus' after a contested idea is presented means the tools tilt only towards ambiguous consensus. Reddit filters out unpopular ideas immediately via mod tools and downvotes. There are no decent tools on the internet to present contested ideas in a fair way.
