n/Android, do we want to use Votes or Zaps?
Satellite.earth has implemented the ability to use Votes or Zaps to determine the popularity of the content inside individual communities. The choice is up...
Zaps v Votes
Zaps necessary. It's the whole point. A person must put money where mouth is. Without some cost, spammers win.
Weighting
Arbitrary. Must come up with the 'perfect formula.' Only certain personality types think they have the 'perfect formula' for everyone, and we don't want them to lead us.
Capping
Arbitrary, Must come up with the perfect maximum cap.
As with everything, the choice is best placed in the hands of the individual. The platform should not decide, it should give options. i.e. I want to see what has been zapped at least 1 penny, with no weighting. Or I want to see everything zapped in order of how much it has been zapped. Or I want to see everything liked in order of how many likes, or everything liked at least once, or everything that AI determines is written with correct syntax and has a 10th grade level vocabulary or higher but has not been zapped or liked... etc
