    Are we misusing voting?

    In What should we eat?, it seems easy to use votes as an indication our food preferences. That might muck with the "trust" signal. I think this could happen all over the place in a larger system. Thoughts?...

    Thought: the voting up/down buttons become up=handshake, down=[something else], and then separately we have a heart react button, which doesn’t add to votes, but just piles up hearts or something the way it does in iOS Messages?...

    I’m excited for emoji reacts—I think they will help differentiate the Trust and propogate to my network signal from the yes, i like this! signal (if we indeed want them differentiated)

    Confusion navigating the conversation tree

    "Collapse all replies" "Collapse to 2 immediate replies" "Expand 1 top-level comments" "Expand all 2 comments" All make sense if I think about them, but I have to really pause and think about them and the result is I don’t use them and they just jumble up the screen....

    What does the Activity thing mean

    Is it some sort of combination of comments and votes on a topic? What are the thresholds? It does seem to not be based on recent activity.

    There’s something about the default UI of "comment on this post" box which I haven’t been talking about because i know we made it bigger after our first use of that platform, we dont have a UX person yet, and it didn’t seem too important, but keeps bugging me, so I want to go...
