Many people who haven't grown up on the internet will not understand the significance of this.
They're saying now you have to accept invalid and illegal ballots so everyone's vote is counted and in effect everyone's voice is heard.
What reddit did originally is make sure everyone's voice is heard.
You would read a news article and it would be unilateral. You couldn't ask questions and if they had a comment system you knew it was going to be heavily moderated and editorialised.
On reddit everyone could come on and have their say. It was a two way street and this was an effective weapon against misinformation. For example, myself and many others found a mistake in Dr Shiva's work and although it goes again what I want I am able to share my working out and fix the problem to prevent fellow Trump supporters being misinformed about a false signal that would then later be used to discredit anyone who built their arguments on it.
We're ultimately the most powerful force against misinformation because nothing is suppressed or filtered out.
When an anti-misinformation system where the users organically sometimes simply being pedantic eliminate misinformation somehow needs to be editorialised to filter out misinformation then something is very much amiss with that. The users already do perform the appropriate function like an immune system. This is like giving the system AIDs, user suppression, both ways as well. Especially when it's making it in line with the editorial standards of the press which do not first and foremost select against misinformation.
