Peer review should be disrupted, but doing peer review via social media is not the way to go.

    Has a bit of a leg up in that if it's only academics commenting, it would probably be way more usable than typical social media, maybe even outright good.

Calling it peer review suggests gatekeeping. I suggest no gatekeepind just let any academic post a review, and maybe upvote/downvote and let crowdsourcing handle the rest.

    While I appreciate no gatekeeping, the other side of the coin is gatekeeping via bots (vote manipulation).

    Something like rotten tomatoes could be useful. Have a list of "verified" users (critic score) in a separate voting column as anon users (audience score).

    This will often serve useful in highly controversial situations to parse common narratives.
