Who is "trusted" for initially seeding the algorithm?
Me.
Eventually, I suspect users will be their own seed and see their own feed based on who they trust.
reply
Probably pick like the top 5 stackers of the day, seed based off that?
reply
It's trickier than that. How do we determine the top 5 stackers without establishing trust first? We'd have to "trust" that they're the top 5, but we can't.
Everyone trusts themselves, they are a singularity of trust to themselves, so that seems like a more natural seed.
reply
I was talking about distribution.
reply
I see. Currently we redistribute even to users who contribute non-top content even days ago, just less.
reply
Oh, okay.
Also.. will there ever be a better way of doing these long reply chains?
reply
I'd love to make them better. How do you recommend we do them?
reply
hmm.. maybe collapse it into some chatroom like thing instead of nesting based on some heuristic (like only if two people are replying to each other)
possibly a "chat" reply type that makes everything below it one single long thread, and no "pay 10 sats for 2nd reply" thing.
