powermonday

the /powermonday channel is the Underground Railroad, the hosts are Harriet Tubman, and each week we get Dred Scott and Harriet Scott candidates to appeal for society to grant everyone equal treatment.

"No Freedom of Reach" is freshman-dorm-room philosophy giving cover for appalling treatment of human beings

PFP is same across socials

is this aggression against the channel or warpcast? i dont understand this analogy in the slightest either way.

Both.

I think the implementation of the Power Badge is deeply flawed, and have seen details around the edges that suggest they are loading it with more than will ever be admitted.

Also, I don't want to be a freedom fighter! It's 2024 ffs and we have permissionless decentralized crypto rails

Leaning into the cancer.

It hurts my soul to see beautiful human beings beg and plead for a nothing that didn't exist more than 3 months ago, is controlled by a handful of humans, and is accepted by <5000 humans as valid.

It took centuries of violence to make slaves. A few keystrokes to make the Power Badge.

Fuck it

I don't man. I live in the most unequal country on the planet. What's happening with PB is a joke compared to RL in .ZA 🤷‍♂️

While PB clearly needs improvements, being here is an opportunity and a choice, not slavery. I got a PB in 3(?) weeks, knowing nobody on day 1. For those who want it, it can be done.

Things were different. PB wasn’t a thing in feb. in fact the implementation of power badges got me shadowbanned almost right away for seemingly liking too many posts too quickly. I was invisible for a month or more. Now ‘not possible’ and steps are being taken but just because you did it in 3 weeks means nothing.

You just gotta reply to other power badge holders for a week. It’s not that hard to get. Lost it and got it back with 5 days of effort.

You’re misrepresenting the effort there. Simply any response won’t do. Otherwise lots of bots would have power badges, no?
So you could ask for a recipe for steamed peanuts and I could reply “I like outer space because armpits smell bad” and get a power badge in 5 days?

Right, that’s kind of my point. Well, unless as another mentioned, it was a ‘nefarious’ or at least ‘motivated’ situation. Engaging with that comment would be unlikely. Though, that’s making some assumptions in ways I’d care not to. 

TLDR: if it ain’t broke don’t fix it isn’t always applicable 💜

I would assume that there must be some correlation in regards to whether the response is liked by the og poster. In your example i doubt the og poster would engage with the response.

To be clear I’m not suggesting to be signaling an answer to the question, simply trying to ‘read the feedback’ between the lines- ‘it still needs work’ is the biggest it seems. Which is ofc fine and to be expected. Do I think that an individual mute function and a token gate could work, sure but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So what's your proposal, to be clear? Free-for-all and let clients filter but not publish what they're filtering (coz that's basically what a PB is, it's a public filter output)

Yeah you could if the other power badge users agree to gaming the algo. It’s easier it’s just to reply to stuff you like and funny memes so people reply. 

This discussion doing an excellent job for the social rankings. 😉😉😉
