I took the question as how trust would influence the rankings if we had trust based rankings again.
That's a big if
I'd expect trust to matter more at scale but so far I don't feel like it's a major loss.
From what I can tell, based on an eyeball test, things seem pretty healthy.
At scale, I suspect incentivizing downzaps would be most of what's required.
Scale is also usually a FUD-y thing. Evoking it sounds smarter than it is. haha, when the complexity of the system explodes and is relatively unpredictable, I predict xyz
Fair enough. I'm not even thinking about complexity exploding, though. Any improvement to what's relevant to me matters more when there's more stuff to choose from.
It's not about sats zapped/boosted scaling proportionally. It's about the likelihood that an aggregation of more preference sets over more items will be less reflective of my own preferences.
Trust helps to apply my preferences to the things I haven't seen yet.
I think the trust score should matter more or less depending on the number of active users.
From a reader's perspective, it seems like it matters more specifically when there are more posts, regardless of how many users there are.
Good point, that makes total sense. I didn’t think too much about it, but having the trust score count more or less could be a formula with multiple inputs, calculated daily.
ah, that makes sense.
Daily rewards are still based on the trust score.
Currently, there is no trust. So, when you view the home page, you see all posts (minus any things you have muted) ranked by sats (which become half as "valuable" every 4 hours).
When you click in to a territory, you see all posts in that territory sorted by sats with the same time decay.
