Yeah, I was thinking of having some sort of feature that pre-builds thread topics in a post (humor, discussion, cross-searching) where users can put there comments in depending on what it is they're going for.
I'm also eyeballing Tildes as a Reddit alternative, and their dev has an interesting approach to increasing signal-to-noise ratio. They don't have downvotes, but they have labels that affect how comments are sorted, with the
jokeandnoiselabels moving comments down in the sort by a pretty significant amount.Tildes developer has openly said they donβt intend for it be a replacement for reddit, and that kinda is what makes me come here instead.
If they arenβt open to the idea, it will never happen.
Not saying they should open the floodgates either, itβs mainly that the use cases and end goal for Tildes vs Lemmy are completely different
That sounds like it could work pretty well, you could even just add it on to other comment sort styles. You don't need to necessarily remove downvotes if you really want them in specific instances.
Doesn't Slashdot kind of work like that?
