  • This seems like a great system.
    I really hate all the reddit awards. I didn’t even know they exist until I opened the steve huffman ama in new reddit, and it had about a million awards that were all a different (moving/sparkling) emoji. Facebook has those too, all the little icons for like, haha, sad, heart etc. I find that stuff really distracting to look at and it’s one of many reasons i refuse to use facebook, or reddit’s official website & app.
    Something like you’re describing sounds like it would work really well though, especially if there were just maybe different colours or something for the upvote/downvote type, instead of space-wasting icons and images.




  • It’s usually difficult for me to break habits, but right now I’m motivated by rage and contempt, which is making it a lot easier. And the fediverse is like a methadone drip to come down from the heroin-like addictiveness of endless information.

    Tip: instead of opening reddit, just search “reddit” and read all the tech news articles shitting on Steve Huffman in diplomatic ways. It’s very satisfying.
