I keep fantasizing about some sort of inception-like system where you could go "deeper" below each subreddit when you chose to, finding a smaller subset of people who'd also gone deeper out of dissatisfaction with convo quality. Maybe it would be one-way gate where you couldn't go back to participate on upper levela. Maybe you comments would still show up above, but the votes in the deeper level would be tallied relative to its users... I keep posting this when quality comes up in discussion, but no one ever bites :)
- walterbell 12y agoHow many people are needed to fork a pocket universe, and how would others decide which fork to follow? It's a subset of the discovery issue.
- patcon 12y agoFork? More like a dive? If /r/worldnews level 1 gets bad, you just click "go deeper" button. After confirmation, you're now in /r/worldnews level 2 whenever logged in. You don't see comments from level 1 folks, and their votes don't affect the conversation and order int level 2. Same for every subsequent level. Also allows friends to say "I gawd, this place is terrible. Let's leave it all behind. I'll meet you in level 22?" They then hold hands and take the irreversible plunge into the unknown ;)
- walterbell 12y agoHow would friends coordinate their simultaneous exit without being observed by the people they want to leave behind? Would you allow more than one group of friends to leave the same level, or do they first have to migrate to level 2, then immediately to level 3?
