156 sats \ 14 replies \ @Scoresby 17h \ on: Is there a way bring attention to older posts? meta
This is a good question. I'm pretty sure that zapping old posts won't get them back on the front page.
The best way to do it would be to repost the link or item, maybe with a little added commentary of your own. If you put a link to the original post at the top, I'm sure people wouldn't mind. If you really wanted to be nice you could forward sats to the original author.
Zapping old posts will affect where they show up if you go to https://stacker.news/top/posts/day (change the for drop down to whatever time frame you like). So there may be some benefit to it there.
If you go through the trouble of finding an old post, I'd be interested to see it -- so my vote is repost it.

I think @k00b's at least mulling over how to let old posts resurface to the front page.
I'd rank improving this very highly, in terms of what will make SN a more valuable resource for both readers and writers.

We’re going to remove trust in ranking for November. That’d be a good time to do this if I don’t forget

What does this means?

Currently posts/comments are ranked by trust and sats. We are interested in seeing what a system without trust looks like. Meaning, everything will be ranked by sats instead.

Are WoT here since the beginning? I think it could be better let only sats determine what is good and legit. In this new way is downzaps still a thing?

Downzaps will still be a thing. I haven't figured out how that'll work yet. Maybe something like outlawed = max(sats_invested * 0.1, 1000) otherwise downzaps just downrank an item proportionally

Second reposting with a link, followed by your comment. Best way to get new discussion going.
You probably want to quote some of the original post, though. You shouldn't expect most people to actually click the link and read the original post.

Yes! I should have made this more clear. By "repost" I mean completely copy the old post, possibly using > to make it indent for quote text. Also putting a link, also adding your commentary.
