Revision as of 04:13, 23 September 2024

"Interests" is a somewhat ambiguous name for a thing that's intended to be clear.

D's 2024 Sept 22 RFC: https://bsky.app/profile/rahaeli.bsky.social/post/3l4s47m3mea26

History

This is inherited from LiveJournal; Brad's initial phrasing, with the unfortunate example 'words that could end the sentence "I like ___" ', which had gnarly implications down the line and was the proximate cause of notable LJ disaster Strikethrough (ptooie).

Issue Space

Intended use: this user may or may not write about these things but if you are interested in that topic (pro or anti) you may vibe with this user, which they want to be visible (shown on profile) and discoverable (findable in interests search, linked to others with the same interest).

Extent: this should cover, among other things:

  • favorite video games
  • hobbies
  • career
  • location
  • personality
  • identity
    • race/gender/sexuality/neurotype
  • disabilities
  • hates
  • roleplaying-specific stuff (see: the original Strikethrough accounts with "rape" and "murder" in their interests)

But what word (or short phrase, but we're going for single word) is better?

Proposals

Serious



Reframing the prompts

  • "things I am interested in" with helpful examples (genres of movie or book, bands) (lassarina, +1 from Doranwen)
  • "I'd like to talk about..." (Lassarina)
  • "I'd like to read about..." (Kareila)
