144 sats \ 5 replies \ @SimpleStacker 18 Oct \ parent \ on: Are Stacker News Rewards Too Salient or Are They Not Too Salient Enough? meta

I think I've seen a few critiques:

  • someone felt that there was not enough moderation / consequence for abusive behavior
  • people think the rewards are gameable with friends zapping friends

anything else?

This gets to downzapping. How do we explain that the users are the mods on SN? Or perhaps it is better to say "the users' zaps are the nods"?

If you see something you don't like you should downzap it.

I think there's not enough incentive to downzap. Coupled with the log function on the zap amount, you can barely even influence the posts' visibility

Combined with the trust weighting too, right?

Downzapping is rightly an advanced feature.

They should realize that it's not shitcoinery when the chief crusader against shitcoinery doesn't consider it that
