A lot of these problems are resolved directly and via the impossibly-quick feedback of pure discourse in the absence of any overarching commercial agenda.
Like if you argue in bad-faith with dogshit points at least 4-5 people will rip your "arguments" apart and cross-examine and ridicule you into oblivion. And those are just the nice folks like myself lol. God help you with the actual psychos who's ideological bent overlaps with said nice folks.
Its a very self-policing and self-regulated environment where we can all LARP as arbiters of reality and what is true and still be of use in grand scheme of general providence.
