User Graph Traversal

A Critique is a collection of labels plus text attached to something.

A user's graph will consist of:

  • Things U commented on (including the comment).
  • Post, Comment, and Reply critiques.
  • Stuff in their User identity.
  • People they follow? (I assume, not sure)
  • People they've labeled, and the label used.
  • Community critiques.

Reading all your friends graphs and integrating them into a feed is a good service to offer. See aggregator

Aggregators

An aggregator is a system that reads people's feeds, integrates them into an aggregate feed, and publishes that feed.

  • This could be done as a centralized common service, like Reddit.
  • It could be done as a centralized personalized service, like Google Search.
  • It could be done as a decentralized personalized service, like... not sure an example exists yet.

The decentralized personalized aggregators seem most interesting to me, from an immunity primordial ooze standpoint.

The centralized personalized services might be the most interesting from a cashflow perspective.

My aggregator could have to pay various relays to read their feeds. Different feeds could have different prices. Higher popularity ones would appeal to more people. The upper bound on price would be a function of what the individual user is willing to pay. There would be things like Forrester that would cost enough to be prohibitive for garage startups, but most would be within reach.

Even so, lower price or free feeds, like your friends who are self-publishing their blogs and vlogs, would have very low overhead to incorporate - just CPU, network, memory, and storage.

The aggregator could inject paid placements. Should aggregators adopt an ad labeling policy?

Aggregators could charge for access.

Regular copyright on "particular collections of facts" would apply. Catching it might be difficult.

Discussion Graph Traversal

The primary mission for this project is to make it possible for people to share information science actions. To make it easy for them to publicly describe, demonstrate, and encode mechanisms for curating information to resist disinformation and toxic infectious memes.

Graph traversal becomes a super-important element in those mechanisms.

Consider a message m, which is a node in a discussion graph D. There are various cases where I would want to incorporate or avoid that message.

Incorporate

  • Root Nodes m, a vector of all the nodes m that make up the first level of discussion. To be included they would need to satisfy an inclusion criteria.
    • The node itself is desirable.
    • A descendant node is sufficiently interesting that it merits inclusion of this node to anchor the branch.
  • Child Nodes c, a collection of nodes that have a parent, but are not root nodes.
    • Node Itself: The node itself is desirable.
    • Descendant Node: A descendant node is sufficiently interesting that it merits inclusion of this node to anchor the branch.
    • Ancestor Node: An ancestor node becomes worth of inclusion only with this added context.

Traversing:

If I start from a node m and want to decide whether to include its parent branch, under the "ancestor node" rule above, I might consider the following:

If node m is coded with the "supporting data" tag, and the parent node is mildly interesting but a citation is needed, m might justify inclusion of both nodes.

If node m is coded with the "counterpoint" tag, and the parent node is compelling but in need of challenge, m might justify the inclusion of both nodes (and perhaps suggests the inclusion of sibling and niece/nephew nodes).

Emojis

Taken from Unicode 15.1 Emojis. All Short Names are the official Unicode short name (eg: Slack is wrong about some of these).

  • down/up: ⬇⬆
    • 1437 U+2B06 ⬆ up arrow
    • 1441 U+2B07 ⬇ down arrow
  • 1300 U+1F5F3 🗳 ballot box with ballot
  • 👍👎, 👍/👎, 👎/👍
    • 196 U+1F44D 👍 thumbs up
    • 197 U+1F44E 👎 thumbs down

Missing?

  • Inflammatory Summary (could be covered by "Emotionally Charged")
  • Clickbait / Inaccurate Summary (could be combined with "Emotionally Charged" for Inflammatory Summary)
  • Rule Violation (details in "content" field)

Considerations

  • Guidelines: Provide users with guidelines on how to use the tags appropriately. This can prevent misuse or over-tagging.
  • Feedback Loop: Allow users to see how their comments are tagged by others. This can be a learning tool for them to understand how they can improve their contribution to the discussions.
  • Avoid Gaming: Just like with upvotes/downvotes, there's a potential for users to "game" the system. Implementing a system where only a limited number of tags can be applied per user or per comment might help.
