  • There could be a post staging wiki for making sure the final unified post is good.

    On Quora before enshittification, there used to be question editing and merging, and suggest-edits for answers, and an answer wiki for each question, so the best result was eventually surfaced rather well.
    (Then they deleted all answer wikis without warning, removed question editing, removed manual question topic tagging and topic taxonomy editing, removed answer edit suggestions, and forced all question merges into the oldest version, not the most canonical version like they wisely used to. My feed turned from a valuable place for learning into low-worth viral takes on recent news. Feels like another attack by big money against a formerly popular liberal-skewed platform, similar to the destruction of Twitter, OkCupid, and Imgur.)
