    Yeah, the trust based algo is how they operate wikipedia. Basically it rates users on their edits and accuracy, Ina very slow and time consuming manner for the mods. But it means that users get "trust ranks" for their contributions and have more power based on their rank.

    Used on a social media platform will be an interesting experiment, especially if it gets federated. Could be good or bad
