Yeah most people I’ve talked to want to participate not actually judge, finding judges is easier said than done /: but I’ll see what we can do!
ill put you down for next weekend then, so far 3 judges!
I’m happy to judge, but selfishly I like making memes so wouldn’t want to do it EVERY week. But I would like to see a more formalized, hashed-out proposal for how this would work. Maybe come up with a working panel of people to help define some of these logistics. I know I’ve spoken to nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 about how this would work in the past. I’m sure he could give his input as well.
As for specific criteria for judging a meme, I think it is obviously very subjective but you could also come up with specific categories to help the judges think through it systematically (eg, How did the contestants incorporate the subject, how original was it, visual appeal, viral potential, clarity, etc).
Discussion
Like I said, I’m happy to help out and judge. But I still would want to see a formalized approach to this. Put something together, publish it in the open and get feedback.
If you’re going to have judges then you might want to come up with a “scorecard” for them to fill out. The other idea I thought of which could be cool is having people submit anonymously and then your Nostr Memes account just posts all of the memes for people to see and react to.
I’m honestly ok with keeping one of the criteria “likes/zaps” because then it takes into account what the overall community thinks as well besides just individual judges.
I had done that before the only issue with that was people reposting their own memes 😅😂
& I’ll see what I can come up with! I’ll keep you posted 🫡
they also had watermarks or distinguishable elements in the meme that outed them lol
Well that’s not as important as moving away from using only reactions to choose winners imo
I mean that idea relies on reactions you said it yourself, I was just explaining why it’s not really anon
n agree we shouldn’t do that idea for those two reasons
No what I said was to have a panel of judges, but one of the judging criteria (out if many) is what the community thinks based on likes/zaps/comments, etc. I don’t think you should get rid of community preference altogether. I just don’t think you should solely rely on reactions to judge this thing.
