Summary
Mastodon is better than Twitter, but Dave says that doesn't mean it can't be worse under the right circumstances. An open reputation system assigning social scores could have instances auto-blocking users. The same could happen in podcasting if interested parties transcribe everything and use AI to tag 'misinformation,' regardless of whether it later proves true.
