Got it, I think.
The up zap and down zap will not drive an algorithm, they simply act as a ‘users opinion’ on a reverse chronological feed. So, what is the added value of the down zap? On a standard social client you already have the zap, the repost and the like who act as signs of « up zap ». Does the down zap only offer a way of expressing negative feelings towards content without having to take the time to voice them with words all this simply by zapping adresses we get to decide? Angry zapsturbators are going to love it 🤣🤣🤣
I like Reddit original idea, you read it, you share it, people used upvotes and downvotes to control the visibility, then everything got out of hand… I am tagging #[5]​ because he’s working on the Reddit like expérience if I understand. (Or at least the use of moderated moderators)
The way it is now on most clients, I can not count on reposts by my tribe to show me what I have missed while afk. I would love some way to see what I have missed ( and that was deemed worthy of attention by my tribe or network) without having to browse back 12 or 24 hours or more…
I was hoping the down zap would add an extra data channel to guide an algorithm. Not going to lie, I love browsing Reddit looking at controversial posts…
