Feature Request: vote reasons, e.g., +1 funny -1 troll, etc.
I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.
@[email protected] wrote a great post about Slashdot upvotes/moderation which I think makes a good feature request.
Here is the opening line of their post: "this was something I loved about slashdot moderation. When voting, people had to specify the reason for the vote. +1 funny, +1 insightful, +1 informative, -1 troll, -1 misleading, etc."
The post also mentions moderation as well so I suggest a full read.
You're viewing a single thread.
I hope I described it well, I didn't expect it to become a post :)
I'm not sure how applicable much of this would be to lemmy though. The federated nature of the software makes things like meta-moderation a lot more difficult.
If you have any concerns let me know as I'd be fine to remove the post and make my own from scratch. :)
