MODERATORS
Luckily there are people who do know, and we verify things for our own security and for the community as part of keeping Open Source projects healthy.
Open source software is safe because somebody knows how to audit it.
It's safe because there's always a loud nerd who will make sure everyone knows if it sucks. They will make it their life mission
