| still-ahead-of-its-time. the new llm craze should make moderation and metamoderation even easier. i think we will see a resurgence of some slashdot inventions, albeit more automated. collect votes from power users. extrapolate how they would have voted on stories they havent seen. feed people stories based on similar voting patterns, to test if you predicted their votes correctly. maybe a synthesis of two random voters accurately predicts a power voter. id like to see something akin to a reverse subreddit. instead of having posts, i add 50 people to a list and turn them into a voting block. then i follow multiple voting blocks. i can follow other peoples voting blocks. my feed tells me which voting block elected to show me a story. let teams of people build voting blocks together, collaboratively. different voting blocks can have different purposes, like populism or expertise. being able to stumble into well made, premade blocks solves discovery and initialization problems, without having to bootstrap a feed from a low number of my own votes. despite having a lot of blogspam, https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-sitcoms... ranker has a some good reranking ideas (like being able to rerank the list by bbt fan votes.) https://wikiless.org/wiki/Circa_News?lang=en is another idea that will pop back up. Stories being composed of smaller elements, stitched together, and appended. https://modo.org and https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news have some promise. there are so many building blocks of good ideas, of which metamoderation is still one of the best, that it leaves me both exited for a future where somebody picks up the baton, and disheartened that somebody hasnt yet. is it time for a slashslashdotdot? |
How can you have actually been there and at all believe this?
