This tactic is how he conned them down their rabbit hole and still is attempting to gain more mooks

The guy is obtuse or concerned trolling

They are experiencing record heatwaves so it might be getting their attention. Their population is huge so if they become uncomfortable it's a powerful force for change

~~Simpsons~~Futurama did it

Ending world hunger is tackling corruption in chaotic places in the world. Not an easy feat. Just look at how fast the taliban took over when the US pulled out, or how corporations (capitalist and communist alike) buy from slave labor states

Definitely strive for it, but pointing at economic differences is circle jerking

Did those fired employees actually go to Meta or were they poached a while ago?

1. The first problem is people tend to follow the hive mind. If it's downvoted, they will also downvote and vice versa. They also will believe a comment with lots of upvotes and won't fact check.

2. The second problem is people will abuse a karma system. Bots can increase the reputation of an account to make them seem more trustworthy

3. The third problem is that the current system let's you see who is downvoting/upvoting. People take it personally when they are disagreed with and will retaliate since they can see those users and stalk their account

I don't think these problems warrants a change in the current system. The transparency is a crucial feature. Seeing the number of downvotes serves as a great red flag to warn readers that a comment might not be true even if it has a larger number of upvotes.

This does take away the anonymous part of your social media voting experience, but the ability to manipulate the platform is greatly decreased. People that get riled up about disagreement will need to chill and you will need to block those individuals that can't.

I think this will allow the development of a more mature community by taking away some of the anonymity

People are really bent out of shape with others disagreeing with them. You aren't being silenced, you're being polled and that's not a problem.

Now if you are harassed because of it, that's a different subject than a simple downvoted. That's why I love the transparency here

Is it any wonder? The money will always try to influence politics and the Supreme Court is the smallest number of individuals with power besides the president. Get a few on your side and so is the law

Spez is just a scapegoat for corporate suits wanting to profit off every little internet community they can while selling data and allowing shadow entities to manipulate conversations.

That can still happen here but it will be harder. Federation should be the future

Yeah, the trust based algo is how they operate wikipedia. Basically it rates users on their edits and accuracy, Ina very slow and time consuming manner for the mods. But it means that users get "trust ranks" for their contributions and have more power based on their rank.

Used on a social media platform will be an interesting experiment, especially if it gets federated. Could be good or bad

My knee-jerk reaction is I'd love a Zelda movie, but I'm nervous it wouldn't translate to the big screen very well for several reasons
