Dam that is such a clean setup. I’d kill for that.

What about steve bannons salute? He’s neither autistic or excited?

Its pretty smooth but I’ve had a lot of desync issues because I have a long list of mods I try to play with.

They do PvP on the mod. Its pretty cool you have 4 teams and each player controls 1 pawn and the fight for objectives and capture and craft their way to victory.

Rimworld multiplayer.

This is so cool. I remember seeing that Europe is working on a massive mega project to build an even bigger reactor for more experiements. Its costing like 75 trillion

I don’t have a million “fancy” cloud features and the latest software support but I don’t care. I’m happy and my computer does everything i want.

The only pain point i have is that KDE plasma 6.3 removed the option to toggle off the audio icon from programs that are playing audio. So stupid, why would i need to see constantly whats playing audio. I know what’s playing audio because I told it to play audio

dam thats a lot for a sync. I guess its supporting the project.

What’s the catch?

I dont agree that those studies change much since they focus on likes and are focusing on public social media where your likes are shown to friends. For the purpose of the discussion lets accept your premise and assume that people will vote biased based on whatever the majority like/dislike is, im still struggling to see what problem this is causing.

In your technical thread example we assume the “best” comment will be the most upvoted. But it wouldnt be considering that most upvoted will be the earliest comment that sounds reasonable enough to get mass upvotes and then it will out compete other comments via upvote bias. Since people are more likely to vote things if they are upvoted so we cant just trust upvoted comments. Here we just trust that the majority of people know best and show the highest rated comments first (if the user has comments sorted by top)

In the controversial thread you suggest we hide upvotes from people and show them comments in a random order and force users to vote before votes are revealed. So now people will see a political question/topic and enter the thread only to be greeted with random quality of comments. I fail to see the value of this. If I wanted to sort through a bunch of stupid takes I could sort by controversial. I don’t think its a good user experience to to open threads on spicy topics and see a bunch of unfiltered takes by default.

I think the current system works well for displaying good comments to the average user. If you want to see controversial comments there is a sort option that does just that. Its good to open a spicy thread and get an instant sanity check. If users are constantly having to sort by “controversial” to find opinions they agree with, that may say more about the distribution of opinions on the platform than a flaw in the voting system itself. It seems you are trying to find different ways to sneak opinions in front of people hoping these changes will change how they’re received.

Sorry I was wrong. Your post made it seem like this was not working at all.

No OPs point is not that there are bugs and deletions arent federating properly. OP expects functionality that doesnt exist and does not make sense and believes they are being tricked by this feature not existing.

Ok that study found people were more likely to upvote upvoted posts. They did not find people were more likely to downvote downvoted posts.

So I think it proves my point and kind of goes against your entire post. People arent down voting posts mindlessly they are doing it because they dont like the post. So why do we need to rework how down votes work?

How has anyone been mislead

Nah im not saying you cant buy new. But I like to look for second hand stuff that fits my needs.

Does ai have a place in the ask Jeeves search engine?

The best driving shoe is bare feet. Nothing feels better than direct skin contact when piloting the machine.

Why do people obsess so much over how many up/down votes a comment gets? On reddit the reason you didn’t want to be down voted was because you would get timed. You would have to wait 10 mins to hours between comments. You would be blocked from posting in certain communities.

Here it does nothing except rank you comment slightly lower. The threads are not exactly so huge that you’re getting buried.

Often a ton of down votes isn’t sheep behaviour its just the majority opinion. I think we can give people enough credit that they aren’t down voting things because they are down voted they are down voting them because they don’t it.
