  • I’d leave the sorting up to the users. So for a post where 5 users tagged it as ‘baroque music’, and 5000 tagged it as ‘boring’, one could sort the feed by ‘total tags’ on a post indicating general interest (5005), or just ‘total tags I follow’ which might just be ‘baroque music’ (5). Or maybe reverse sort by tags so ‘boring’ stuff is towards the bottom.

    I’d think that ignoring tags would be a thing for users, so “libtards” or whatever could be ignored.

    Tag mods could ban problematic users, so someone could get banned for tagging ‘corporate lies’ where the mods think it doesn’t belong. Offenders could make their own ‘corporate liez’ tag though, I suppose.

    A tag hierarchy might be desirable, like everything tagged ‘baroque’ also getting ‘music’ automatically. Perhaps through agreements with the mods of each tag.

    ‘archive of our own’ I’ve heard has a solid system of tag moderation. Not sure it would be appropriate for a system like this.


  • What I think would be interesting would be a link aggregator based around tags rather than subcommunities. Moderation would be based around these tags. Your feed would be based on tag queries. Posts could have multiple tags, assigned by the original poster or by users. Assigning tags would have a similar effect to voting, so a post might get tagged by 1000 people as ‘corporate lies’, or as ‘music’, or whatever else.

    Nice thing about this would be finer grained queries with news, for instance. Could get ‘politics’, but minus ‘corporate lies’.








  • Ok, I’ll go:

    The Will Smith I, Robot movie took its title from the classic Issac Asimov imagining of a future of robots that coexist productively with humans due to his Three Laws of Robotics. Asimov’s work is an optimistic statement on the power of science and reasoning to construct a utopian world. The Will Smith movie instead delivers a message of “Robots R Bad And Will Kill U All”, completely disregarding the whole point of the source material. They could have named it something else since it had almost nothing in common with the actual book, but instead they chose to take a giant dump on Asimov’s legacy.
