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.

Read only use is hardly good though, that's just coating them money. You want engagement from users to drive ads.

Read only might not need an auth session, so no API token. Id have to go check the docs again been a while since I messed with it.

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.

Well, now I want RIF too, completion is good!

In all seriousness this is good to see.

I like that the code is 451, but yeah no one is going to explicitly use it when they're blocking things. A little too on the nose.

Alright so not just me, it's useful but out of date. Some of these are still good, others have been replaced.

I have a feeling they got a massive number of those,ni am one of them as well.

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.

Still need that alert function on the app.

Although all this immature development is making me consider taking a stab at programming Social Networks again. Last effort was an app back in College to collate facebook, twitter, reddit, etc into one interface. Very clunky, held together by proverbial tape and crashed when there were non latin characters input. Still, that was fun.

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.
