"SN gives the sats it earns back to its best users daily"
What's the metric of best here?, is there a ranking?🤔

There is some kind of web of trust. Interactions with more trusted users increase it and upvoted comments/posts are good.
I don't think we have deeper insight into it AFAIK.

Tbh, I am not very good in actually understanding code from open source projects. It seems to iterate through a graph beginning with @k00b - that makes sense
But the creation of the graph via sql is black magic to me: discounted by time logarithmic, then just building the sum means no penalty for lots of low-upvote comments (?)

Continuing to work on multiple auth methods for a single account. Much suck.

Looks like I'm going to have to fork the auth library I'm using ... It impressively lacks simple/non-buggy ways of doing this.

I've actually been quite surprised the shitcoiners haven't been spamming nonstop. I suppose it's because there is no API for their bots to use for posting, otherwise it would be nonstop.

The queen can't singlehandedly stop inflation..just like the US president cant..it's called a free market and capitalism..which I am 100% against by the way I just understand how it works and how serious a problem corporate greed is.

So you dislike my opinion so you ask if i'm mentally challenged? How mature. You have no retort to my comments/opinion so you insult me. Typical right winger.

So you're in favor of a monarchy and you oppose capitalism?
reply
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @AJ1992 4 Jun 2022
A monarchy no. Capitalism causes more problems for a society than it fixes, though. Especially when the government cares more about those in the top 1% of wealth distribution and fixes the system to get them even richer than they already are.

Watching the Queen's platinum jubilee festivities! Even as someone who doesn't live in a country ruled by the monarchy, I have nothing but respect and admiration for the Queen!
