Slashdot solves this by tagging comments insightful or funny.
- ragebol 7y agoAt Dutch tech website tweakers.net allows to classify comments as one of 5 levels: -1 undesired, 0 off-topic / irrelevant, +1 on-topic, +2 informative en +3 spotlight Works quite well, AFAIK Edit: this is their FAQ on moderation: https://tweakers.net/info/faq/karma/#tab:1-2 https://tweakers.net/info/faq/karma/#tab:1-2
- Fnoord 7y agoWhich does not work well. At the time the item is posted, there are mismoderations. For example, one person can mod a post as off-topic because they don't like the narrative. You're not allowed to bring up such moderation right away. By the time you are allowed to, the momentum is gone. Effectively the post got silenced. Discussions are more mature here anyway. Although Tweakers used to have a moderation system akin to Slashdot back then funny comments (or "funny") comments were much more allowed. I'd say funny without intellectual basis or cleverness is not acceptable anymore. I suppose it still is on Slashdot and Reddit. Hiw does lobste.rs deal with this?
