I get the impression that Gab has other problems though, like a lack of *quality* content.

It's circular though. Mainstream institutions are hopelessly infiltrated / compromised by the left but they're mainstream for a reason - if you read a fact in the NYT, it's likely not fabricated. 1/2

Like you say, you need incentives for true / insightful content to rise out of the morass of nonsense. This requires reputation which requires permanent identities, which means doxing and loss of livelihood. 2/2https://twitter.com/RokoMijicUK/status/1184515507627679744 …

But I don't think it *requires* *real* identities. What's needed are quasi-permanent pseudonymous identities like we see on Reddit etc, with a reputation tracking system that works and maybe other stuff.

Sure, but look at actual reddit for the counterexample - the most soybug site on the internet. Urbit is the bet that permanent pseudonymous identities is a solution to this problem.

And Reddit has a problem because it's subject to top-down censorship based upon corporate interests etc.

Corporate interests? No. Woke censorship isn't done for profit and in fact costs companies that do it a lot of money. It's done b/c reddit is infiltrated by leftist ideologues and they push it because it gets them status which is better than money. Prog status lets you fail up.

Well it may not be locally profitable, but the woke media apply pressure to keep companies in line, and this is how the censorship runs. Media --> corporate leadership --> users

It's "profitable" for the woke but costs the companies money - it's like stealing company product and selling it for quarter price - individual profit, burn down the business but the woke get to fail upward when they crash the place - plenty of cases of wokists failing upward

It's like a mafia protection racket, because the incentive applied to companies is a negative one. Pay a small wokeness tax, or get accused of being nazis in all the mainstream media and risk a huge hit to the business.

Even that bit is fake. The media accusations of being nazis is just how the infiltrators exercise power when they're on the inside. Companies don't randomly get accused - an insider requests the accusation so that the insider gets power to make the decision he wanted to make.
