I don’t think karma/voting system should be given that much attention or should be used as a highly visible feedback on project funding.
I do think that it would help independently of that by allowing more focused discussion on individual issues.
To clarify—agree with the benefits of splitting the discussion threads for readability, but I was unenthusiastic about the motivation be voting.

K, it’s now top-level.
Ought: why provide $50,000 to Ought rather than ~$15,000, given that they’re not funding constrained?
(Top-level seems better, but will reply here anyway)
The Ought grant was one of the grants I was least involved in, so I can’t speak super much to the motivation behind that one. I think you will want to get Matt Wage’s thoughts on that.
Cool, do you know if he’s reading & reacting to this thread?
Don’t know. My guess is he will probably read it, but I don’t know whether he will have the time to respond to comments.
