| Oct 22, 2024 at 2:15 | comment | added | Austin 'AJ' Overton | @KevinB totally agree. When I first started, it frustrated me that I had to gain whatever number of rep to do something like vote (which is among the most simple of site functions.) | |
| Sep 23, 2024 at 13:12 | comment | added | duck Staff | Tags and the homepage are two initial initiatives that will make these actions more visible to users, provide opportunities to teach users about the product, and serve as a baseline for us to build off of | |
| Sep 23, 2024 at 13:12 | comment | added | duck Staff | @KevinB We see activation as helping users take the actions that they have available to them. We want to balance giving users new information while giving them this information when it’s timely and assuming they’re able to take that action (i.e. don’t tell users how to comment if they can’t yet do it). Although rep is one way that could open the doors for users to participate, we don’t see rep as the only way to get users to participate. | |

| Sep 12, 2024 at 3:18 | comment | added | user400654 | "so let people vote at any rep level, and when they reach that magic rep number all their votes go in as real votes." yea no i don't support that anymore. if the votes are gonna count they should count right away, not later. I'm a supporter of lowering the rep required to vote/comment and participate in other ways generally | |

| Sep 11, 2024 at 17:26 | comment | added | hkotsubo | Agree, SE is focusing on the wrong issues. For years users have been reporting the fundamental problems (here and in all other Meta sites), and SE kept ignoring most of them. Now they want to "solve" things that won't fix anything. | |
