Is it a valid way of moderating content? Why should someone else's downzaps influence post visibility for me?

There is certainly an interesting framing of the front page of any message board as "The Commons". I'm sure someone has already written something about this somewhere.

Why should someone else's upzaps influence post visibility for you?

@k00b can you confirm whether downzaps have diminishing returns like upzaps?

Neither have diminishing returns.

1 sat = 1 sat regardless of:

  1. the person spending it
  2. the number of sats the person (or anyone else) has already spent

I think it would be cool to be able to SUBSCRIBE to people's downzaps.

i.e. - if someone downzaps, have it show up in your notifications.

(someone in particular, not every downzap)

That could sort of happen mechanically if trust-based feeds were reintroduced and you developed negative trust with someone else.

They shouldn't, necessarily.

I do prefer the personalized feed based on bilateral trust, at least conceptually.

Still, absent other information, upzaps - downzaps will be a decent signal of quality if your preferences align with those of the zappers.
