Oh also the pattern of what things of mine get upvoted vs downvoted feel pretty weird. E.g. I thought my post on a mistake I think people make in discussions about open-source AI was a good contribution, if perhaps poorly written. But it got fewer upvotes than a post that was literal SEO. I guess the latter introduced people to a cool thing that wasn’t culture-war-y and explained it a bit, but I think the explanation I gave was pretty bad, because as mentioned, I actually just wanted it to be SEO.
