#neurothread2 — Public Fediverse posts

@PessoaBrain @NicoleCRust @kordinglab
@tyrell_turing Was thinking about the same thing. Two possible answers occur to me.

One is, instead of or in addition to liking, boost -- if you think a thread is an interesting discussion, boost one of the posts, which will alert others to it.

The other is, we could come up with a hashtag, or hierarchy of hashtags, to be applied with discretion. For example, maybe, #neurothread when you think it is part of an interesting discussion others should know about. But has to be applied sparingly -- if applied to everything it loses value as a signal. So maybe a hierarchy? Say, #neurothread1, #neurothread2, ... #neurothread5, where 1 is no big deal but you think people might find it interesting, and 5 is this is probably the hot discussion of the -- month? year? Or 3 levels, or 2, or ...

I dunno if any of this is workable. Requires (1) consensus on the hashtag signals and (2) application with discretion by *everyone*.

Mastadon mind, can we come up with something workable?
