  • I think votes should honestly be a bit more like old school SlashDot voting, where you had several different types of votes you could leave on a comment like Insightful, Funny, Helpful, etc. Have a few negative ones like Bad Faith Argument, Spam, Advertisement, etc. And also like old school /., you’d have a limited amount of votes you can give. Make them replenish once per day, or have users earn additional votes for receiving positive votes on their comments, or something along those lines.

    That would prevent bombing an entire comment thread with downvotes, and provides much-needed context for any given comment’s score.






  • Keyword searches with an understanding of search syntax was always king.

    Isn’t that only because of the limitations of the available technology only being able to handle simple strings, though? Conversational computing has been a pipe dream since early sci-fi, where characters would talk to their computers as if they were human; George Jetson never spoke to Rosie in keyword queries.

    I feel like keyword search syntax being “king” is more of a symptom, than an intentional choice.
