Hi,

i want to explore the various way we can highlight content.

Currently, on the threadiverse, we use vote to show our approval, discontent...and we can couple it with a bot for moderation. Or hide post below a certain score...

Some instance completly removed downvote as Beehaw. Piefed is experimenting private vote. On other fediverse software, mastodon, iceshrimp, there is no downvote and we use emojis to express our feelings.

You also have website as https://slashdot.org/ where you can tell that comment was insightfull or a troll, or funny...

There is also also website that compare software or video as https://tournesol.app/

Do you think vote sould be private ? Public ? And why ?
Are you sastified with the current voting system ? And why ?
What other interesting software/website that tried something different do you know ?
What way do you imagine to highlight content and improve search, discoverability ?

They aren't shown to users, no, but because votes are federated, they're freely accessible to anyone willing to put in some effort. Set up a server and you'll get access to the data.
