yes the emoji thing for HWC/IWC cities is purely meant as a positive encouragement / gamification thing to start and keep organizing in your city (and posting photos!) even if only one other person shows up. It makes a difference to new folks showing up from cities who may even just want to meet 1-2 people in person with similar interests

5. the sooner you can post about positive things that you personally observed or especially participated in (actions, events, accomplishments), the more details you will remember, and the more you reinforce your own short-term (then longterm) memory of the thing! Since that value decreases as the time since the thing happened increases, post the about the most recent thing first to get the details down, the the next most recent thing etc.

Zegnat the example is important IMO because if a new person A shows up here, says only on topic or positive or neutral things. Then if new people B, C, D ... Z show up and start harassing that person then we need to deal with it

indeed that message from jay made me more optimistic. agreed snarfed about [benatwork]’s tweet being a bit generous, however I wonder if that kind of public generosity also helps as a form of positive inclusion nudging. maybe that's a good way to build bridges from a social perspective?

KevinMarks, maybe? I don't think such negative signals actually work in practice. I think the opposite is true. We need some consuming code/service incentive to publish more "positive" explicitly social "links" (like the meanings conveyed by XFN) which many things (including search engines, but not primarily) could use to prioritize results both overall, and based on who is searching (if you've chosen to login)

new blogging authoring feature idea: when you open your blog post creation UI in the morning, it flips a coin and sets your blog in a light mode or a dark mode, and prompts you with "You woke up and chose constructive/destructive this morning", and then helps you write something positive or something critical

use-case: mounted on the back of the door to the toilet (which you face when sitting on the toilet) with news/posts "I care about" (insert personal positive algo here) with a sensor to NOT update the display if the toilet door has been moved in the past ~5 min (avoids the need for actual human "presence" detection which is creepier information)

campegg, sorta. The whole "the metaverse was a cautionary Torment Nexus tale" is a bit of a retcon. At the time (1992), the web was just a random prototype hack, and the internet was only used (primarily) by text nerds (myself included). At the time (again, 1992), the "metaverse" was seen as a more accessible view of the internet that would be much easier (UX) for lots of people to use, i.e. a positive thing

quitting any kind of regular checking of FB was one of the most mental-health positive things I did. in the pandemic, since events evaporated, and that was my last use-case for checking FB, my usage went to pretty close to zero. occasional use of FBM to message some folks that aren't available elsewhere, thus the friend-request/accept dance to enable that. but that's about it, using only the mobile web version

[schmarty] the key to designing good auto-linking is to avoid surprises, especially anxiety-inducing surprises. As long as you can feel "safe" typing / pasting in whatever plain text you want, and if auto-linking(or embedding) happens the feeling should always be neutral to positive.
