i will fight every single person suggesting that a "reputation score" is the way to fix abuse
have you been on reddit ever
reputation scores are a way to instate a supergroup of people who have made their way to the top and will never ever come down
reputation scores are a way to put down people who have been branded as "bad" by some unknown entity down even further
reputation scores are basically literally How To Create A Bourgeoisie 101
people with a high reputation score will "always be right" and people with a low reputation score are always "bad"
it's just a number to tell you what to think of someone
having reputation scores is a fucking black mirror episode
like im not making a comparison of what it's like
there's literally a black mirror episode about it, iirc
@b if your idea is a black mirror episode it means its not even "bad" its just a punchline
also: it's federated. someone can just fucking set the reputation score to send to others if they own their own instance???
@b my rep score is 6969696969
@b i have $MAX_INT reputation, believe me ;)
@KitRedgrave i have ">'><xmp> reputation
@b web of trust more like web of tragedy
@codl giant fucking spider web to ensnare new users in
@b doesn't Uber kind of work like that? Bad arbitrary ratings can affect how much money you can make or whether or not you can get a ride? (I've never used Uber they don't have it in Vancouver)
@b it's the first episode even.
@b also a really good Community episode
@b Can confirm. Watched the Black Mirror episode.
@b five million merits
