Frequently, I need to answer the question, “Is this source of information reliable?”. Lately, I have been thinking that a decentralized platform to post reviews for websites and see aggregated statistics about those reviews would be pretty useful.
While I am open to any suggestions, the software being OSS and decentralized is important for me to consider the platform reliable.
Also, I believe the optimal review platform should hold at least ratings, tags, and text.
Not true, I could set up a WordPress blog and start writing reviews. As long as it stays a niche thing I share with a couple of friends online, that “review platform” won’t be gamed or flooded by fake reviews.
My point being that closed “publishing” instances can be reliable.
