What do you mean? Are posts automatically expanded for you? I only browse mobile and I can’t even tell how long a post is until I expand it
That’s what upvoting is for, pins are for keeping content that’s valuable and provokes discussion artificially above the fray of drive by twitter screenshots and random low effort trash that gets upvoted but isn’t beneficial for a forum beyond giving a sense of “activity”, which admittedly has some slight value
Since this place doesn’t have the same dumb restriction as reddit however, there’s no reason not to pin a good thread, even if only for a little while.
We should just set up a system where someone can nominate a post for sticky in a comment, then if that post gets say 5 or 10 upvotes the user pings a mod, and it gets pinned for a day or two. Thoughts?
