This sounds like it could easily end up with the same catastrophic flaw as recsys. Most users will want to upvoted posts they agree with. So this creates self reinforcing “cliques” where everyone sees only more content from the set of users they already agree with, strengthening their belief that the ground truth reality is what they want it to be, and so on.
Yeah, this seems like it fundamentally springs from “people don’t always want what’s good for them/society.” Hard to design a system to enforce epistemic rigor on an unwilling user base.
