Ruby comments on Open Thread With Experimental Feature: Reactions

[Ruby]

Clustering of Reacts (differing ontologies)

*Reacts that require high karma to be allowed to use, possibly moderator only

The top level categories are roughly ordered by how interested I am in them for LessWrong

• Reacts that make sense as conversation between two people have a conversation

  • I will reply later

  • you changed my mind

  • not a crux for me /​ this doesn’t update me

  • do you have examples?

  • I think you didn’t read me carefully

  • I have seen this

  • I would bet on this at {1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 10:1} odds

  • what’s your concrete prediction?

  • what’s different between worlds where this is true vs false?

  • taboo your words

  • you didn’t understand me/​this is a strawman*

  • Doesn’t feel relevant to me

• Reacts that make sense as conversation between author and reader

  • I already addressed that (useful for post authors when people didn’t read it)

• Reactions that makes sense from readers/​audience

  • agree (public)

  • disagree (public)

  • roll to disbelieve

  • I defy the data

  • Seems true based on private information

  • You should try to pass the other person’s ITT

• Feedback to the comment/​post author

  • This is 101 content in 301 space*

  • Poorly formatted

  • Doesn’t address prior discussion

  • unhelpfully aggressive*

  • missing LW basics (e.g. Sequences)

  • Politics is the mindkiller*

  • This is a strawman (of something being described)

  • This seems tribal/​political*

• Assessment/​judgment of the content (particularly epistemic)

  • locally invalid

  • premises seem false

  • correct conclusion, bad reasoning

  • false conclusion because false premises, but valid reasoning

• Reacts that are funny /​ culture-y

  • I now have additional questions

  • this was your father’s rock

  • The AI does not love you or hate you, but you are made of atoms it can be used for other things

  • skeptical Eliezer react

  • horrified Eliezer react

• Reacts that express how content affected a reader (these might be important for positive signal)

  • this was helpful/​valuable

  • I feel grateful

  • this made me laugh

  • this makes me sad

• Warm/​fuzzy

  • Support

  • Heartwarmin
    
    One frame might be to give people reacts that correspond to useful things for a facilitator to say.

[Garrett Baker]

All of the conversation between two people reacts you listed seem good for viewers of the conversation to also be able to react with.

Many of them, yeah
