i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    I’m not a fan of voting systems at all, but about 15 or so years ago I was in a forum that implemented a voting system that was on the user’s profile.

    You could give the user +1, 0 or -1 only once. But in every case, you had to write why you were giving a user that score. You could edit it, albeit not frequently, to reflect any changes.

    Anyone going to that user’s profile would see the score and the comments, so you also couldn’t just go around giving a score without consequences. And the score overall reflected more on your standing with the community.

    Edit: wording
