Which sounds like a pretty terrible idea in itself. At least to me, it would sound pretty chaotic if the edit that wins out on Wikipedia is the one that receives the most votes by other Wikipedia users, and if you wanted to get something on Wikipedia fixed, you'd need to gather enough people to support your fix over the previous version.

I've ran into issues with Wikipedia mods ignoring sources and going off whatever priors they had, but at least then I was able to just passive-aggressively berate them on the talk page to get them to bend.

What's the alternative method for credibly neutral decision making on a public internet site anyone can participate in?

"Alternative" method for "credibly neutral decision" would imply that there exists one already.

It seems a large number of HN users, judging by this post, believes that community notes is credibly neutral.
