Re: "Re: Who Likes the Likers"
Yes, a good point about scale.
I once spent the best part of a year building a system that as designed could not possibly scale to handle a large rate of requests; and that turned out to have been the right call when in the end it only had to handle a few hundreds of requests per day. It was even considered a success--because every request was very high value.
So, "wait and see" sounds good to me. Thanks.

I suppose a site could have a per-user list of public labels and another list of private labels. They could start with a site-configured default list. That way you can control what kind of simple feedback you’re interested in. A subtle implication here is that the site doesn’t know which ones are positive and which ones are negative. So you’d have to aggregate based on which posts got ‘reactions’ without implying whether it was good reactions or bad reactions.
Re: Who Likes the Likers — gemini://clanmorgan.org/gemlog/2023-05-14-who-likes-the-likers.gmi CircaDian: [...] I think a low-barrier-to-entry feedback mechanism is important for Gemini, then briefly mention why I think “thanks” is the right action and “like” is not. What I mean by “thanks” vs “likes” is that “thanks” are a private message to the post author, while “likes” are public and might be used for filtering/discovering content. Thank you Morgan for the suggestion. This is certainly...
