But then probably it should rather be the points that get assigned that would have to be adjusted rather than the thresholds? Reason: if I e.g. got 1 point 2 years ago, that point had at that time more value (less users than today) than the 1 point that I might get today? (therefore today I should maybe get just 0.5 points per upvote instead of the 1 point that I got 2 years ago, depending on the difference of active users throughout time) The other approach of just raising the thresholds would on the other hand impact all my points independently from "when" I got them, which sounds wrong to me.

Many years ago I learnt the difference between less and fewer, and now I can’t read or hear someone saying “less than” when it ‘should be’ ”fewer than” It’s like Roko’s Basilisk. Or The Game (which I just lost), living rent free in my mind, offering nothing of value, yet immune from bleaching - indeed alcohol if anything heightens it’s power (and causing rambling asides, I think ki should go back to torturing myself with Lithuania’s Eurovision entry)

  > now I can’t read or hear someone saying “less than” when it ‘should be’ ”fewer than” Thank you! I love such corrections. I'll try to keep that in mind :) > i should go back to torturing myself with Lithuania’s Eurovision entry Hehe, I have that show running in the background - I was just thinking that the presentation of the songs got more extreme compared to previous years... . Sorry, I overlooked Lithuania. Edit: saw a few seconds of replay of Lithuania - it seemed okay-ish (better than others).

  memetic viruses are real. Infohazards should not be taken lightly. What has been seen cannot be unseen. However, it's worth taking all that lightly because correcting people's grammar is a suboptimal social strategy.
