Veritula – Meta
Need time indicators again, for when an idea was posted, like we used to have. But shorter: something like ‘1h’

Not if the criticism is clear and concise. That should be incentivized somehow.

A discussion can get long even if each criticism is concise.
Someone who recently joined made a bunch of low-quality posts in a short amount of time.
#4614·Dennis HackethalOP, 22 days agoNeed rate limiting for new users to prevent excessive posting.
why?
Not if the criticism is clear and concise. That should be incentivized somehow.
A discussion needs to be more skimmable via one or both of these:
1. hide long posts behind "read more" button
2. collapse critique chains/threads behind a "reply more" button
The UI needs to be more minimalistic. Too many buttons to click on. Needs clear primary action on every screen.
Need summaries at top of discussions. Could be AI generated.
Idea: communities.
Communities group or maybe even replace discussions.
Could live at /v/community-name.
There could be a community around nutrition, another for software engineering, a meta community for Veritula, etc.
@davies could have his own community to build his Wikipedia competitor.

… I’m finding the threads a bit cumbersome to keep track of. Would love an option to have each top level idea in a column, and horizontal scrolling would be fine with me if there are many of them.
Unclear how comments would be rendered.

Not sure this is a good idea. You say you wouldn’t mind horizontal scrolling, but users generally dislike horizontal scroll.

Fix typo
A ‘supercession’ isn’t some special flag in the system – it’s just another criticism that can be countercriticized. So I hesitate to implement special functionality for ‘special’ criticisms.

#4504·Benjamin Davies, about 1 month agoI would prefer to find out I was reading an outdated version of something before I started reading it, not at the end, and not in the comments.
Outdated is different from superseded. The versions show at the top of the idea. That signals at least potential ‘supersession’ before you start reading.

You could make an option "allow revisions by other users" in the new idea form that is off by default.
Alternatively, you could make an option "allow revisions by other users" in the new idea form that is off by default.
#4513·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoIdea: ability to lock an idea to prevent edits. If you submit the first version, you get to lock the idea. Useful especially on your own profile that you might use as more of a blog and don’t necessarily want others changing your ideas.

#4501·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoBut there’s no indication that the current version has been superseded.
There is, in the comments.
#4500·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month ago…the site should let [visitors] know if there is a superseding revised version of [an idea].
There are arrow buttons linking to the previous and next version, and the UI says which version you’re currently looking at.
But there’s no indication that the current version has been superseded.
#4437·Benjamin Davies, about 1 month agoWhen a reader comes to a Veritula post via a link, the site should let them know if there is a superseding revised version of it, and if they would like to see that version instead. When I share things with my friends, I want them to see the most current version, not the version that corresponds to the link they have been given at some point in the past.
Right now it depends on the user seeing that it is not the most recent revision on their own.
