i feel like this incentivises ‘controversial’ posting. content that is designed to illicit a response, good or bad. i feel like this is another avenue to creating an inflammatory space.
I’d be interested in seeing that experiment in the comment section. It could be implemented with another toggle (similar to the “Activity” filter in the post listing, I’d guess). Still, this wouldn’t present a qualitative difference between “good” and “bad” discussion. But it might surface “interesting” discussion for a certain type of member.
Why not surface communities based on activity. As in how active the comments section is. That way agreements and disagreements are weighed equally.
