Ironically, I've actually spendt more time on this platform than on Duolingo in the past three years, correcting and writing entries when I'm available.

"I have actually spent" or "I've actually spent" is better here because you're talking about a period of time which extends back into the past. This is from the past three years up to now.

Since our presencecommunity here is built on mutual help, why not introduce a system where correcting others' entries earns points? Since our community here is built on mutual help, why not introduce a system where correcting others' entries earns points?

"community" might fit the sentence better.

Since our presence (community?) here is built on mutual help, why not introduce a system where correcting others' entries earns points? Since our presence (community?) here is built on mutual help, why not introduce a system where correcting others' entries earns points?

I agree that “community” sounds more natural here than “presence.”

These points could be exchanged for Streak Freezes or be used to fix a broken streak. These points could be exchanged for Streak Freezes or be used to fix a broken streak.

If we could use the points we earned from helping others to protect our own learning streaks, it would add a layer of fairness and flexibility that would helps keep users from giving up.

"fairness" might not be the right word here.

"From the perspective of the interlocking system" sounds extremely fancy to such an extent that I struggled to understand what it meant at first. Hopefully I haven't misinterpreted what you were saying.

I don’t understand what you mean by “lack of available corrections.” Available for what (what does one “do” with corrections)? Are you describing a situation where a learner’s post has received no corrections? If so, I can see how that might slow down the learning process for those posters, but I don’t understand how it would slow down “everyone” (if I’m not studying that language and don’t see those uncorrected posts, they don’t slow me down).

I didn't know what you meant by interlocking system, but I read your response to JoeTofu so I understand what you're getting at. In this specific context I think 环环相扣 is better translated as "interdependent" or "mutually reliant." And I think JoeTofu's phrasing of the second part was excellent. Here is how I'd put it all together, combining with what JoeTofu said: "This is a community in which everyone is relying on each other to help out. So if there is a pronounced lack of corrections in one language, it might have a ripple effect where learners of that language are discouraged from returning to correct entries in other languages, thereby slowing down the learning process for many people."
