 Hmm because the original posts aren't censored(?) it's like a rating on Google reviews. In theory at least. No?

 That's why I am saying it's "soft". It's like you let the other person speak, but then you immediately "correct" them with a higher authority take that completely voids them.

 I suppose it's a matter of who has access to be the authoritative voice in the case of fact-checking.

I was thinking more of community notes. I'm not entirely sure how they even work on twitter actually. Who is allowed to make them? It's more like consensus opinion of the dominant community's voices or something.
