It would also make sort functions way worse. I don't want a web1.0 style forum, if I did then I'd go to one of the 1000s of dead forums with unsortable threads where random noise is weighted as highly as all other things
Yeah that's all social media. Block the things that make your doomscrolling unenjoyable instead of having a narc mindset about people enjoying shitposts different from the shitposts you enjoy
i would argue scrolling through endless “peepee poopoo” has a profoundly different effect on the experience of doomerism than scrolling through endless “genocide is good actually”. rage bait has an inherent engagement advantage and we can counteract that.

Yeah I would argue scrolling thru mindless drivel instead of well-worded debunkings and people helping each other with finding flaws in the current system, which is what was on the tanks in large amounts, would have two different end results. <- We can phrame both things to sound like the "more bad" thing.
The thing is though, I'm not a narc that gets mad some people like to write about shit and piss and have a laugh about that, instead of my own treat
Comrade, I think you make some good points, and I don’t mean to be dismissive, but the fact that you can’t keep track of who you’re replying to anymore is an invitation to log out a while. I’m disengaging.
I fear disabling upbears would just needlessly throttle engagement. People want to see the number go up so why take that away?

because it encourages doomscrolling in the worst possible way, searching for the dumbest take that will garner the highest upbear count
Then don’t upbear it or engage with the content. I don’t watch tv shows I don’t like because I actually don’t have to even though I know they exist
I simply wouldn’t allow myself to be manipulated by the architecture of the underlying techno-social system

Tbh you're right. Thank you
