Revision as of 03:46, 23 September 2024

"Interests" is a somewhat ambiguous name for a thing that's intended to be clear. Intended use: topics that this user may write about, which they want to be visible and discoverable.

But what word or short phrase is better?

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).

Proposals

Serious

  • Topic tags (D) -- confusable with journal tags
  • Keywords (D) -- (connotes something else to Kareila)
  • Topic keywords (D)
  • Topics
  • "something to do with 'connection'" (Lassarina)
  • Interests (Doranwen still likes it)
  • Channels (bsky acct)
  • predilections (Dan Martinez) https://bsky.app/profile/hivehand.cc/post/3l4s5gmzsaw2k


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)
