    I am trying to make it more balanced. In an ideal world I would like it to be here: https://img.gvid.tv/i/4EhvD43g.png

    But like I said elsewhere I’m not in the market of controlling what other people think so I’m going to let people who decide they want to influence what the site becomes do exactly that. Influence it. Anyone can.

    I think this is one of the benefits of positional posts. On every site it seems that there has to be a conflict over who occupies it in exclusion to others. But what if these people just interacted less? What if people who want to see only posts like their way of thinking could get exactly that. And people who want to see an uncurrated representation of all thought could see that. That’s the benefit of positional posts plus letting people weigh the factors of the algorithm themselves.

    Maybe small free speech sites always end up dominated by the wrong people because the right people give up too easily. The problem is it relegates every small project to being one thing no matter how unique a project is or what kind of cool potential it has unless that project engages in the same kind of control that made us hate reddit. All because one side wants to fight to promote their ideas and another side just wants to be comfortable.
