And I'm sure that nearly everything that's killed manually is justified, but that kind of misses the point, doesn't it? The whole point of transparency is so that we can see those cases where it wasn't automatic and where it wasn't justified. And especially so we can see if a particular user is killing stories that disagree with his political beliefs. I'm betting that just displaying his username next to the items he's killed would curb a lot of that.
Put another way, why wouldn't you be willing to surface this information?
- pg 17y agoIf someone started killing stories that disagreed with his political beliefs, I'd notice and unkill them. So you really can act as if anything dead (for long enough for me to have noticed) has my username displayed next to it, because I in effect signed off on it by leaving it dead.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoI find this really unsatisfactory, but I can't put my finger on why. After all, I would be trusting you in the same way if you did alter the software to put the username next to all killed stories, but something about this answer still doesn't sit right with me.
