2 years agoI don’t think so. I think corporations will always want their hand in a pot and will have their things. I think we’ve seen there’s always going to be people who don’t want anything to do with that - digg to reddit, twitter to mastedon, reddit to here. And I wouldn’t be surprised in a few years if this platform and similar ones face a crisis of identity like that. Small, independent communities are great and can gain value as more people join. But once enough people join other interests can overtake the original goal. What we’ve learned is that no platform or protocol is forever.
I don’t think it makes sense that the down arrow counts towards negative reputation but the up arrow does not count towards positive reputation. Either only have positive reputation linked to boosts or have negative and positive linked to the arrows on comments and threads.
