    Its crazy how facebook added something cool like heart/madface/puke/like/laughing variation but basically just used it for sentiment harvesting.

    Its dumb, id be down for a sort by laughs, sort by likes, and only in my communities feature, shrug

    Yeah but sorting by new is not a good experience either.

    Letting the site choose what we see with an algorithm is also awful.

    Not sure what the answer is.

    Yeah. Votes kind of suck. I have the arrows, but I only use them if someone’s really helpful, really rude, or their post is super useful, or egregiously bad. I sort everything by date, so people dog piling on someone won’t affect their post or comment’s standing in my feed.

    Take the power back and do the same, if you can.
