I really like public endorsements in forums, when the comment/post shows the names of ppl who like it, it lets me know if I can trust an opinion, especially if I’ve seen those names before, which is common here.
Instead of ppl commenting seconded or I agree, they could endorse a post to publically show their name next to a like/upvote. The inverse would also be nice as well, downvote/disagree and show your username, both would be helpful information, becoming more valuable overtime.
As an addition to upvoting/downvoting, not replacing it.
You must log in or register to comment.
Something like lemmy gold but with public names? /hj
that might be cool, you’d have to test it somewhere to see how people adapt to using it though, it probably would be better to have it not influence the sorting algorithm so people aren’t incentivised to use it instead of an upvote
