We could have the default sort option be set to "New" on a lot of subs.

I guess whether it works it really depends on what kind of content it is.

I do really like the "insightful" and "fun" dual option the way Saidit has it. Especially with "fun" being worth only 1 point and insightful 2.

It's an ok system. I've been thinking about whether it could also work for the proposed future forum. Voting fun brings those comments up in the ranks, so there's a good reason to use that unironically for fun(ny) comments, but there's less incentive to "downvote" someone in that way. Though I'm sure there are many users who still use it like that.

Could add a 3rd "screw you" button, but then people might use that as a joke.
