Red is the most popular and black is the least popular. I know we need to fix this to make it more obvious which stories are popular, as well as the filtering system.
Yes these are all good ideas and we need to consider how to make notifications work more transparently and functionally. Right now when logged in you should see a box in the right rail that has message reply notifications. You might have gotten rid of it in your settings at one point.
I'm on Firefox on OSX. I think the issue is your browser window is too small. I can see it disappear in chrome and safari if I shrink my browser window. Perhaps try zooming out (Command - ) on mac.
I see what you're saying. Click the "Show 500 more comments" or "Load all comments" button and then the numbers above the filter should add up to the comment count.
Yes I think you're right. Proper thresholds would be set so that the item would have to actually be really popular and interesting before it was promoted to the front page. Once it was on the front page it would be clear it was a firehose promoted article. We'd also set limits so only x amount would be promoted in a certain period of time. And of course we'd monitor it with an actual human and programmatically to prevent abuse.
Yes good ideas. We will explore something like this and of course monitor it with an actual human so that it is not abused. Point is to give the community more control and fill news gaps with actual interesting and popular stories promoted by users.
There will be a human editor still at all times. This would just be to get some interesting/popular content onto the front page and get people discussing it when a story hasn't been posted in x amount of hours. It would be regularly monitored for abuse.
Yes we will get the community engaged in some way or another. I think giving the community greater control over the firehose is a good place to start. We're also going to build a system to detect duplicates
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah the firehose is split into slashdot.org/recent and slashdot.org/popular. I think we need to make this more obvious
No it doesn't mean that. I'm just trying to get feedback on ideas
Yeah I'm aware of the Chrome and Firefox policy changes. We will be https soon.

I will keep a look out for this stuff. Thanks for the feedback
Thank you for caring. Great UID btw.

Great thanks for the feedback
You're right
Yes absolutely there would be limits and checks on it, and a human present. Thanks for the feedback

Yes you are right
Good points and thanks for the bug catch.
Yes we will add editing
Interesting. Yeah I agree with you about the first comment stuff
Ha... I wouldn't know about the ticket. But we should support it so I will add it to the list

We would keep it monitored at all times by both human and programmatic means so that it's not abused
Not a bad idea. Will look into it
Weird. I am still seeing it in Firefox.

Yes we need to improve the dashboard
