For me flair is probably the most important. I follow a lot of organized sports and being able to quickly identify which team someone supports helps the conversation move along without having to write “as a fan of…” in every single comment. And this isn’t a like talking shit, sports guy thing. It’s genuinely extremely useful for broadening the depth of the conversation.
Also not having to scroll to find the reply box. Super annoying. Super easy fix.
That being said I’m all in on kbin. Deleted Reddit. Not going back.
I agree with you in principle, but I think the OP might be making a different point, which is that you can’t really convince everyone to use votes in any particular way. Most people will go with their gut intuition, and most people’s gut compels them to vote based on agree/disagree, so that’s the behavior you’re gonna get.
totally. maybe I’m really naive to think that we can all agree to keep “fediverse etiquette” around here. or just any etiquette at all.
we will see.
that being said I really enjoy exchanging about this with everyone involved so far.
