Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D
I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc
I’m not sure about this. How do you decide which qualities users can rate? How do you ensure those qualities work across instances with different languages / cultures? You’re also taking something which is extremely low effort and making it take significant more time and effort. I think the simplicity, universality, and low effort of upvote / downvote are all strengths.
This would take some work, however, it is possible. Almost all the languages share some common concepts, such as love, hate, disgust, “what the eff”, cute… the symbology of them may be different, in japan, this🫰🏻means ❤️, for instance. It would be a matter of i18n the tags for a better localisation
I got some inspiration from the Dark Souls messages system, and how it can be cross language
Never reached that far on any Dark Souls to even need to send messages/emotes… 😂
