    I think comments like "This." would presumably get tagged as noise, which would discourage that sort of participation-by-commenting except when someone has something valuable to add to the conversation. If I've exhausted my votes for the day and I see something particularly impressive, maybe I would go back and unvote something I voted on earlier. Or maybe I could just read it and like it, internally in my own mind, without clicking a button. Although it occurs to me maybe a "save" button would be valuable in this case.

    Also late to this party, but I'm Joey. From Texas; now based out of NYC. /u/joeycastillo on reddit, where I mod a couple of LGBT-focused subreddits including /r/ainbow. Interests include online privacy and community building, photography, hiking and camping. I feel like the tools we've built for connecting with each other online are either broken or have betrayed us; I'm interested in projects that are trying something new, and also in getting back to the ideals of the old web (self-hosting, less polish, open formats like RSS, small projects that don't feel the need to eat the world).
