We had a small discussion about it ages ago with a little feedback but no rules were made. I took some of the feedback and made this rough draft.
I can agree with the notion that this could further polarize sources. In addition, I must agree that since the Phuks userbase is gonig to grow as a result of the Voat situation, you will see an increase in people who recklessly upvote/downvote. Hm. In that case, would it be possible to focus on size and fact/opinion branding? Major/fact or Medium/Opinion for example. At least that way people have a good idea of what they are getting into when they see the link.
