Ideas: Different upvote buttons. Award tokens for Donating (feddit.org)

Hear me out: Had these ideas to ensure lemmy doesn't derail into a short video/meme spiral like every other social platform

Additional (more specific) up/downvote buttons.

Like "original vs generic", "low effort vs detailed"

Not only can we ensure the engagement doesn't derail into an X-like anarchy or Instagram meme fest, but we can also then sort comments by parameters (ie. you've seen 20 pun comments about the headline and broad topic at hand but want to see actual thoughts about a linked article)

Another idea:

Instances are commonly offering donation buttons since they need to fund the servers. What if we tied cosmetic "superlike" awards to donations.

Thoughts? Very interested in your inputs/adaptations to my ideas or other cool concepts you have to ensure lemmy staying solid while growing

lazy people can just stay on tiktok(or in this case reddit), i dont see the problem

"bro is" comments contribute nothing and on the long run are just degrading the quality and average intellect of the hivemind (see reddit, less and less critical thinking happening)

also its literally just an extra button you CAN click and look at, you can also choose to not do that, no?
