So, that whole section for Spock on being a Vulcan, That’s the video clip they’re going to give new actors for Vulcans isn’t it? Right down to the prosthetics.

They’ll win in the end when the internet gets board like always. Still, it’ll be fun to watch burn, knock some value off the IPO.

Yep. It turns out there is no such thing as a ‘balanced’ social network.

Which is analogous to life, depressingly enough.

I’ve always thought about creating some metric to weight users who create comments with the most engagement as higher. That leads to the most controversial or dividing comments rising though.

Some impartial judgement via mod points and or community awards to weigh valuable users would be nice.

The issue is any of these would be gamed, it might be possible today to use an AI model like ChatGPT but that’s got its own biases.

So for the moment I can’t think of a better system than upvote downvote.

Well, it’s the nature of almost any online community. Say the ‘popular’ thing and you’re lauded, even if a slightly less popular point is more valid / has better evidence.

There really is no good way to discourage this other than fostering a community which values the discourse over ‘popular’ thing. That’s difficult to do even offline.

Nah, waifu car girls is where it’s at.
