" No voting - Relevance is based on chat activity and excluded voting entirely." Won't this just mean that the top comments will always be flamewars?



hey good question, and it is experimental so we'll see how far it goes, but I think you could get more granular to detect things like unique message author/over rolling time period, account age, perhaps a private vote people could add or other metrics to try and filter out noise.


To follow up with that, I want to try and mimic real life as much as possible, and avoid the incessant dopamine feedback loop that voting/liking promotes. That's sort of my guiding idea, to keep it razor focused just on conversation.
