Right now if you install our code you get saidit- your logo, our two upvotes and no downvote, etc. But we should really have an option for people who want traditional reddit- up and down vote, the old blue theme, etc. We're forcing the few people that care to have saidit which I'm sure has been a turn off for a few.

Oh dynamic silence, interesting.

I'm still committed to decentralization, it's the only path forward, but the devil is in the details.

I'd love to see the option to add other vote options (ie. down, archive, etc.) and for the votes to potentially be qualitative (ie. 1-10, a percentage, or 4 stars).

I'd be happier if the karma points weren't 2 for insightful but just 1. And instead of adding them together for a total, just have separate tabs that rank on specific votes: insightful, fun, down, archive, etc. If you really wanna get tricky activate more than one each to add them.

Easier said than done, but food for thought - and since you are going through all of that effort, maybe improve on the limited old/current Reddit model.

IMO, dynamic silence is a big but under discussed form of censorship (in addition to soft censorship, shadow banning, moving the goalposts, rigging the rules, brigading, manufactured outrage, etc.).
