Hi,

i want to explore the various way we can highlight content.

Currently, on the threadiverse, we use vote to show our approval, discontent…and we can couple it with a bot for moderation. Or hide post below a certain score…

Some instance completly removed downvote as Beehaw. Piefed is experimenting private vote. On other fediverse software, mastodon, iceshrimp, there is no downvote and we use emojis to express our feelings.

You also have website as https://slashdot.org/ where you can tell that comment was insightfull or a troll, or funny…

There is also also website that compare software or video as https://tournesol.app/


  • Do you think vote sould be private ? Public ? And why ?
  • Are you sastified with the current voting system ? And why ?
  • What other interesting software/website that tried something different do you know ?
  • What way do you imagine to highlight content and improve search, discoverability ?

    I thought about how to game this. If you’re running the election you’d make the number of points really small so that people would have to choose between an agenda item or several or your pick or you do a prime number times a perfect square, for example 5×9 that way voters can’t put more than 9 in any category without it not resulting in a perfect integer. Of course you say that resulting vote could result in integer values.
