    Fake Internet Points? I don’t even know what do with all my real Internet Points.

    I don’t mind collaborative tagging though. I don’t know the details but it looks like there’s been a fair bit of research about how to make it work.

    I’m just gonna fucking say it:

    If we need to gamify everything just to get people to do good works we have categorically failed as a fucking species and giving in and gamifying everything to fight the gamifying is a losing fucking prospect.

    You don’t fucking beat capitalism by saying “let’s try just a little capitalism.”

    EDIT: Just look at Raymond Hill of uBlock Origin. He won’t take donations because he doesn’t even want to have any kind of possibility of being influenced by money (up to and including wanting the freedom to walk away from the project if and when he wishes). At the end of the day, what does he get out of his endless work on uBlock Origin? I’ve never said thank you to him directly, and I doubt most have, yet he toils at it endlessly, because it is an overall benefit and good thing for humanity and the internet. To him, that’s enough, and it should be for all of us.

        Seems more economic than political to me, but also why such the strong reaction to an on-topic reply? As you even said yourself:

        I don’t really care all that much about any particular issue. I enjoy copying the ideas suggested by others in the fediverse and transforming them into new issues, as many individuals do not take this initiative.

        Your account has existed for all of 3 hours and you’re trying to come off like a well-known fixture of the community whose opinions are above reproach. I’ll also say it seems suspect how quickly detracting comments are earning downvotes but not replies in this post.

        In short, I don’t believe you, your post or its engagement, are sincere.

    Imagine a social media landscape where every piece of content is perfectly tagged

    working tirelessly to make your online experience safer and more enjoyable

    All of this feels a little disingenuous when it’s not even mentioned that all this tagging and classifying would also make it much easier for training LLMs or tracking groups/individuals/movements.

    I don’t think it was ever about the points not even on reddit. People make good comments and contributions because they like the response. People moderate because they like controlling people.

    Also I feel like tagging every image is a lot of work for barely any point. There is no point in me tagging a cat picture just to avoid the possibility someone with a catpic phobia is browsing.

    If lemmy got a tag section the poster could add a tag or two if needed and an algorithm could be used to suggest relevant tags based off the title/post.
