    None of these games are even remotely close to the most complex board games.

    The campaign for North Africa is by far the most complex game, being as it was created specifically for that purpose and nobody has ever managed to even complete a singlr game of it.

    Behind that are dozens and dozens of games in the 18xx genre, which is a giant cluster of rules from bespoke stock market operation details to complex route profit calculations to natural disasters and a million other things. Games can often take 8+ hours.

    After that you have the entire hex and chit wargame genre, which will have tons of complex rules for combat, tables for looking up results, a million classes of units, and usually many rules that are included not even for game design purposes, but just for historical accuracy.

    This is an awful click bait article just designed to get views for a more casual audience with popular well known games.



  • Your oversimplification makes it sound like this is just my personal preference, and not a natural tendency of humans or social media interactions.

    This is not just “I like X more”, this is “humans on a large scale act like probabilistic decision trees and will converge on lowest common denominator dopamine fountains without careful checks and considerations”

    The latter is necessary for high quality networked media and discussion


  • If an account is upvoted because it’s posting high- quality content, we’d expect those votes to come from a variety of accounts that don’t otherwise have a tendency to vote for the same things.

    No, I completely disagree and reject your premise.

    Many times really high quality content will be voted for by only a small subset of the population.

    In general people will vote for lowest common denominator widely appealing click bait. That type of content will get varied voters because of wide appeal. Discerning voters represent a smaller but consistent subset of the population, and this proposed algorithm will penalize that and just lead to more low quality widely appealing click bait.


  • What if account B only ever posts high quality content? What if everybody upvotes account B because their content is so good? What if they rarely post so it would be reasonable that a smaller subset of the population has ever seen their posts?

    Your theory assumes large volumes of constant posts seen by a wide audience, but that’s not how these sites work, your ideal would censor and disadvantage many accounts.

    Using a term associated with tragedy and human right abuses for ‘fun’ is a very interesting take.

    Words can be used in multiple contexts. When somebody does well and I say “hey you’re killing it” I’m not condoning murder. I don’t cry for all car and plane crash victims when my computer game crashes. Life is better when you don’t look for the most offensive way to interpret everything.

    Maybe do your research before you sign up. I didn’t know what federation was before finding about Lemmy either, yet I already knew the basics when I made an account.

    I did. But a ton of people are about to come to reddit from here, and despite how much we want them to, and how reasonable we think it is, most of them won’t and don’t care to do even 3 minutes of reading to understand how the basics work. This is just how large populations function.

    Last thing and a pet peeve of mine: stop calling yourself a refugee.

    No fun allowed, got it.

    You’re taking yourself way too seriously. Let people have their fun name, its not hurting anybody.

    Of course the average user doesn’t know what federation is, thats a complex topic. Be realistic, live and let live.
