I assume that there is something that is O(N), which explains why wait time scales with community size (amount of posts, comments)
Oh, Big-O notation? I never thought Iβd see someone else mention big O notation out in the wild!
:high-five:
you are going to meet a lot of OG redditors in the next few weeks. Old reddit had Big O in every post, even posts with cute animals.
Thatβs pretty neat! Iβve honestly never seen it mentioned on Reddit before, so got a bit excited to see someone mention it here, admittedly maybe too excited.
there was a time, before the digg invasion, where someone would post a picture of a woman feeding 30 cats and there would be Big O jokes about how well this would work and crazy modifications to the situation to improve it. This would be almost every thread at one point on the site. I miss it.
That actually sounds like something I would have enjoyed. I joined Reddit around the time it started taking over, I think.
Those years before the Digg invasion are often the magic and mythic times OGs speak of, lots of amazing happened after too, but that early culture was almost entirely washed away by Digg and subsequent mainstreaming of some subs. the move from being a focus on quality link aggregation to a points game really helped push things down hill.
At this point I'm not sure meta-moderation is really a workable system and I kind of hate internet points. There are some new tools and techniques we can try in a system like this.
