Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁

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 think the entire concept is a bit impossible to implement on a distributed network.

Is there any reason piefed’s private votes don’t work for this?

Someone else has to elaborate on the technical details and why it's difficult to make them private and potential issues with PieFed's implementation. Biggest issue I see is abuse. Mass voting, bots, brigading, annoying people on a personal level and so on. All of this happens on Lemmy. And once the votes are 100% anonymous, there isn't much to do about this. The mods can't see who did it and all of this becomes commonplace. Or half the network defederates from each other in an attempt to confine bad actors, and Lemmy breaks apart. I think it's a fundamental problem.
