    Could be a good feature to add to PieFed, which is built on Python specifically to allow more developers to have access to building extensions and plugins.

      Programming language isn’t a problem as much as the mechanics of the implementation.

      I mean, how does it work on Twitter? Do they have oldschool language models parse upvoted comments and automatically generate it? Basically the options are:

      • Involve some kind of ML model for partial automation, which is not going to go over well with Lemmy users.

      • Leave the UAC completely to mods, which is going to both overburden them and make power-tripping issues far worse

        On old Twitter, community notes was simply a function of raising a flag for tweets that got ratio’d. This would open those tweets up for Community Notes users to submit a fact check. Then, the fact check with the highest upvotes gets displayed as the default one.

        Now? Not sure. Elon is a sneaky fucker. But I do think it could be implemented as a simple comment queue that admins and moderators could set user roles to help with.

          Getting ratioed isn’t an reliable indicator though (see this post).

          I guess there could be a “misleading” button that triggers a Community Notes section, but complicating the UI like that could push away many participants…

          Maybe there should be a button to “mark” a comment as a correction during the posts, and if it gets enough upvotes it becomes visible under the title? That could work. Some useful comments might not get properly marked, but I think many would.

          One issue is Lemmy comments are typically too long to fit under a title, so the “correction” comment would need its own structure: a short correction that fits under a post title, and context that lives in the comment section.
