Karma bias
This is my first post here. Additionally, English isn’t my native language, and I will likely make many mistakes. But I prefer to practice it. Please do not judge strictly ❤️
All that I have done on this forum so far—I’ve found two bugs: an Incorrect display of the data graph here. And a bug occurred during the uploading of the profile photo.
Update: already 3. One more while I was trying to edit this post :)
I love making small improvements, even if I understand that it may not be the best option. So, I will continue to do so!
My point:
I suggest hiding information about karma and agree/disagree until you make your own choice. At least for comments. What do you think about that?
That’s it.
Lol, my introduction to the post it 70% of the post itself :)
Hi and welcome!
I personally disagree with the proposal because karma allows readers to quickly see what others have found valuable, and hover to the highest value sections immediately. Reading everything to make your own opinion would be super long.
A quick suggestion to improve the post, btw: I think you can cut the section on bugs in your introduction so it’s quicker to read and also explain the rationale behind your proposal (why you think the karma system exists in the first place, what issues your solutions would fix and the problems you anticipate, etc).
Oh, and congrats on taking the 10% pledge!
I am so glad to see your comment 🥹, at least for its own sake, that you took the time to write it. Thank you!
In terms of sorting comments, depending on their karma, you are definitely right, and I don’t suppose removing this function is necessary. It’s highly beneficial.
Thank you for your suggestions as well😇 I’ll modify my post.
And again, thank you for your kindness! This approach to new fellows significantly contributes to community building. That, I suppose, is one of the best interventions.
