Random notes of my personal experience after a couple months of Strong Upvotes:
I find myself frequently wishing to have roughly 3 levels of granularity:
“mild social approval” (weak upvote) – used liberally, whenever someone does something I think is a step in the right direction that I want to positively incentivize.
“strong social approval” (I guess medium upvote?) – used somewhat sparingly when I observe someone making significant efforts to, say, write up predictions or cite references or build models… but which aren’t necessarily at a point where I think it’s important enough to demand other people’s time and attention.
“strong signal of quality.” – Used when I think something is some combination of true, important and well thought out, such that I think other people should definitely be paying attention to.
I want the second and third levels to be something that has to be rarer in order to be effective (mostly likely simply becoming less powerful the more you use them)

Yeah, I’d like a higher effort way to signal even stronger that I like some content.
