I just want to take a moment to petition that every client add down votes.
New nostr client just dropped: https://github.com/dluvian/voyage/releases/tag/v0.1.0
- Outbox model
- Reddit-like UI (root post feed, topics, up/downvotes, thread tree)
- Login only via external signer (Amber)
- Text only. No pictures and no videos
It behaves like Nozzle but without these annoying loading times. Next few releases will just add the functionality that Nozzle already implemented, after that the real fun will begin.
Discussion
"Or we could just stick to the traditional 'like' button and save ourselves from potential down vote drama. Just a thought 🤷♂️"
Downvotes incentivise flame-bait.
Does Nostr really need THAT MUCH Reddit?
We could filter out flame-bait based on average votes I guess, but that then draws in brigading and sockpuppeting. In an uncensorable, permission less system we'll never be rid of them...
neither reddit nor the various steem forums demonstrated any use in downvoting
i think web of trust based filters that include biases based on muting will solve most of the problem... 90% of asshats aren't in the second and third levels of your follows follows and the remaining 10% can be muted and this mute can bias the weighting to filter those out as well
i used to be on the hive forum, which was one of the pioneers of the concept of karma points - note that bitcointalk also adopted this... but it entirely depends on the quality of moderation and any way in which filtering posts gets too tied up in the control of a small number of people you have a lever that spooks are going to use to steer the conversation by being the mods or controlling the mods and ... fortunately this is mostly a client side thing
we don't want dumb, gameable moderation systems, the user needs to have absolute control, and any help they are given should be ONLY from those they already follow, thus web of trust > all
How do I down vote this opinion?
Thumbs-down emoji should do it. Copy Dluvian's reaction to my reply :p
I do like Amethyst's freeform unicode reactions...
they are not as flexible, you have to preconfigure them, but nostrudel also has unicode emojis... i see that there is gif and jpg/png ones too, not sure which clients are making those? primal?
Yea I loooove custom emoji reactions! I made my own pack even.
Download the new APK from nostr:npub1useke4f9maul5nf67dj0m9sq6jcsmnjzzk4ycvldwl4qss35fvgqjdk5ks and do it! I dare you.
