@stuxnet mah internet point

Joke aside, I’m surprised I’m at 22

I don't think you know what "official" really means, but thanks for the spotlight I guess

I like how @Linuxxx is still almost 3 users worth of updoots 😅

I actually made it in thr top 100?!

@devTea can I upvote spam you to get you a little higher?

@AlgoRythm Officially from me

@AlgoRythm you can I guess? But I’m fine with this

Award For The Most Downvoted User Goes To @wazza7253

Those who couldn't make it to Top 100 (or 1000), don't be sad, These points don't matter, It's just a number.

@AlgoRythm Glad you didn't demand the source code, You want the complete dataset? There are 29,009 users.

@theabbie I AM THE GATEKEEPER TO THE TOP 100 WTF

@AlgoRythm I give up

@devTea I did not. You are now #21 ;)

@theabbie complete dataset will be invalid in a few days... It's interesting, but no thanks. I don't have much use for it.

@theabbie why did you @ me about that? lmao

@theabbie 🤔now that's an interesting list, gist of first 100?

@AlgoRythm Not in That way, It is a list of user ID of all users, There is no API to get all users, I had to extract them, also, User ID is permanent and doesn't change with username. Still, yeah, that's not much use, It will be easy to update this list with all user IDs.

@theabbie dump it in a csv somewhere, maybe it will be interesting, then.

@C0D4 Why just 100?, here's top 2000, https://gist.github.com/theabbie/...

@theabbie it's definitely interesting, but why?

@SoldierOfCode Maybe from this Rant https://devrant.com/rants/3114736/...

@AlgoRythm I have JSON, that is equally useful, Ping me whenever you need that.

Huh. Nice.

I’m never in the top anything, so this is an honor. :)

@theabbie ah, well, then why the hell not xD

Just by the way, @Alice's leaderboard is still functioning (not gonna share the URL without consent) but she doesn't remove deleted users.

The names on there bring memories. I'm #8 on that LB.

@AlgoRythm Any Realtime Leaderboard would be slow, there are 29,009 users, fetching there scores and then sorting is a huge task, unless there is a hidden API to get leaderboard directly.

@F1973 Sorry you couldn't make it to Top 100, you are #248, We can consider score of your previous account if you want.

@AlgoRythm I'm glad I wasn't the only one who didn't forget that lol

Pretty sure the toaster is still on her site too.

@devTea you know I'mma whore for those ++ 🤣🤣🤣

@Stuxnet this is a robbery, give me all your ++ now 🔫

I am rarely on here, but glad to see I'm still hanging out on the top sort of 😂

#2? Really?

I don’t even think I’ve been that active, especially lately. 🤔

As an aside, I’m sad to see @AlexDeLarge isn’t on this list. I still miss that asshole.

I guess I'm top 59? 😅 Waw...

I'm surprised I'm still that high after being inactive for such a long time

@F1973 That's also a good Idea, But this one is for all the users, I can implement it real time, not much useful.

@F1973 Oh, I didn't know People contact me on telegram when I have clearly mentioned email is preferable, will check

@F1973 I don't think this will make anyone a Karma whore, top 100 is too far

It's an honor just to be nominated

@F1973 https://theabbie.github.io/#contact This is the section for "Top 10 ways to contact me" and mail is at top, IG second, Actually, I can't reset PIN from telegram and so, checking messages is little bit harder, still, I will check.

@F1973 Yeah, I admit that

Ah yes, 20th place in the top list.
And I'm not even that active anymore...

I was literally inactive for like a year but very cool.

@devTea you're one of the oldest users here, of course you're on top

*Incognito oldfag here*

@iiii I’m only active like a year later tho

Correction: 2 years later

@devTea "joined in 2016" 🤔 you sure it's only 2 years?

@F1973 Pretty interesting to see that so many people deleted their account, some users still have the same score even years later.

PS: What about rant quality?

@iiii yeah, back in 2016 I don’t understand half pf the post here until I actually got a job as dev in 2018

@devTea well, I remember you being active when I was active back then.

@devTea But you kept your blue background, at least! (That's the most important thing)

@Jilano hell yeah

Render me surprised, didn't think I'd be in the top 50

Top 100 babyyy!

Not here since day one but when devrant consisted of like 7 people jk :D

@Nanos Are you sure you commented on correct Rant?

I'm not even on the top 1000... 😢

Guys please upvote this comment.... 😂

🆙👍🏻👆🏻☝🏻

@rodrigograca31 You are #5028, Not That Bad

@subspace I have mentioned where I got the inspiration from, You don't deserve more credit than that.

*hasn't been active for years, is still top 20*

Someone please explain

@ewpratten Same as early investors in a huge startup, didn't do anything, became millionaires

@ewpratten I only see about 15 of the top 50 around in a active capacity.

Seems the top 50 is a lonely place.

@Nanos If the founders are hardworking, you don't need to do anything, motivating counts, but still, not worth millions of dollars.

@C0D4 once upon a time, I had this crazy thing called a "relationship" take up all the time I would normally be on here, and since then, I just kinda forgot I had this app installed.

I'm trying to get back to being semi active

Why am I even so high up lol

wow, haven't been on for a while and still at 26

@calmyourtities Everyone is saying the same thing, you can't be in top 100 without being for a while.

@theabbie yes, i definitely did join earlier than most

@Nanos You took it too seriously, I was just doing a comparision

@Root Same about Alex.

@theabbie I never gave you permission to pull my data from devrant for your statistical use. do remove me from your pool. I also forbid you from keeping any of the data related to me.

I will use this notification in a court of law, if need be. Consider yourself warned.

@NoMad Is this anger because you couldn't make it to top 100?

@theabbie yes, I'm jealous.

My warning still stands.

@NoMad Well then, though this is completely allowed as per terms, you have right to deny, no problem.

@theabbie if you can manage to read, there are data privacy laws. the fact that you "can" pull data from a service, does not exclude your responsibility to store and aggregate the data. you have to notify all parties whose data you are using.

@MySlugLikesSalt I leave him in your capable hands.

@NoMad Your DevRant score is not technically "your" data, but just a number attributed by DevRant, You own what you post, and, making scripts to use such non-user data is allowed (or not denied) by Devrant, as of yet. And I prefer things said by dfox if it's related to DevRant.

@theabbie even my username is my data property. you can pull all you like, but as soon as you store, you are bound by the same laws as the rest of the service providers on the internet.

@NoMad By storing you mean printing the leaderboard in a github gist? If that's so, you are not the copyright owner of your username, even if it's clearly visible that it's pointing to you, If I had stored your rants, that would clearly be objectionable, not this. Sounds stupid, but this is the reality.

@theabbie you never learn...

@NoMad Only if you could ever explain properly, through sources, examples and calmly.

@Nanos What's your opinion though?

@Nanos the social media is not to blame tho. the abusers of the systems are. and that is reflected in rules of the community, usually. ofc, you have to find a way to control bots as they grow with your user population.

@NoMad Oh gosh. I just randomly logged in after not having used devRant in forever. I can't do this again 😅

@subspace You are a shitposter.

@subspace You might not know it but you are becoming a troll, this might make you feel worthy but you're degrading yourself.

@subspace I think @unclesam account was deleted for similar reasons, he started with soft-core shitposting but was turning aggressive, It was necessary to kill him to save everyone from the toxicity, you're on the same path

@Root I give you the F-pass, beat the shit out of this ShitPoster

@subspace and I'm Mark Zuckerberg

@subspace Dude, stop it, what do you think you are doing? your account will be deleted and everyone will forget you, why not stay normal?

@theabbie can you divide the number of ++ by (post + comments)

That will give the number whether someone has quality posts or they just post a lot and you can release top 100 of those and compare with the top 100 based on just ++

@hardfault I can do the math for ya

Coming in at roughly 30k ++ from comments, we got @Jilano lmao

@hardfault in that case 1 comment with 1++ will be equivalent to 1k comments with 1k++, who should be considered better?

@Stuxnet I live by the motto: "Just because you have nothing to say doesn't mean you should stay quiet".

@Stuxnet comments have much better return than posts in general.

@theabbie both are equal that’s the point , they both have 1 ++ per interaction

@hardfault But they shouldn't be equal, if someone has just 1 good comment with good score, he will surpass most people, that shouldn't happen though, that's the same problem with IMDB ratings, average are not the best measure.

@theabbie depends on what you are raking as, if you want to rank based on quality of interaction, ++ per interaction is the way to go

the example you gave is bit superficial, but even if you compare person with 100 interaction with only one interaction having 100 ++ ( extremely unlikely)
and a person having 100 ++ distributed almost evenly over 100 interactions will have a same quality of interaction, they won’t surpass people with more quality interaction.

@hardfault Suppose a movie has 5 star rating because only 1 person rated it 5 star and other has 4.8 because 1 million people rated, which is better? As per average, former is better, but surely it's not.

@Alice you're the one who created 1st T20 Leaderboard?

@theabbie
Movie star rating is different kind of avg its more random
, in case of ++ per interaction The hidden dependency is ++ is the function of no of interactions ( mostly an increasing function) so you won’t run into imdb like scenarios
May be just try it and see if your are running into some problems with that

@hardfault The Score/(No. of Rants + Comments) Ratio for #1 @linuxxx is 8.12, suppose a newbie makes a comment and gets 10 ++, his Ratio will be 10, As per algorithm, he is better than Linuxxx, But, theoretically, it shouldn't be.

@hardfault Your measure is only useful for Top users, If you want to calculate this ratio only for top 100 (or 1000), I will do that.

@Alice Maybe, I will check

@Alice Yeah, suppose it breaks TOS, will an apology be able to solve it?

@Alice Also, my motive was to let everyone have fun with their rankings, I have no intention to break any Terms, I hope he understands.

@Alice By different, you mean better or worse?

@Alice These terms about storing data are there so that people don't claim over data, In my gist, it's clearly mentioned it's DevRant leaderboard, it should not break any Terms as it's not used for commercial purposes or so.

@theabbie what kind of trash list is this if I’m higher than Root?

28th and I don't even post anymore... I'll take that!

This Top 100 is only based on considering top 100, there might be people who can be in top 100 but were not counted, that would be a long process, especially for a test ranking.

@uyouthe @hardfault suggested taking score/(No. of rants + comments) as ranking factor.

Lmao how am I still at #85 after 2 years away 🤔..but not surprised @linuxxx is still miles ahead haha

@Haxk20 This is based on interaction rate, not the ultimate list because only top 100 were considered. You can assume that among top 100 users, you are 73rd as per interaction rate.

*smack* NICE

@brod You are 85th among the top 100 based on interaction rate, actual ranking might be different if everyone is considered.

Haha and I made #12 on the “quality” metric.. someone please show my boss lmao 😂

@theabbie if SortOfTested is the second from the end of a “quality rank” this rank is pure bullshit

@theabbie gotcha, still good enough for my ego lol

@uyouthe It means she gets average of 3++ on her rant/comments, that's a good rate but there are better people

@Nanos All of your comments lack context, I understood your point, But, I need more elaboration.

@theabbie this is not “quality” then. That’s virality

Here's Top 100 on considering top 1000 users, this is a proof that this metric is pure Bullshit

@uyouthe I know that, I even told @hardfault that average was not a good measure, but he was optimistic that it is good.

@Nanos Now I am convinced that you are an AI bot who talks well

sorry @linuxxx, you are #443 on "Quality" metric

@uyouthe you are #638

The Top users are those whose rants went viral

Checking out the top of the “quality” list is kinda sad, I remember @BlueNutterfly from years ago which is nice but most of the others are just trash posting and js memes.. 🙄

always thought the suggestion (from years ago) to only allow images via camera was pretty smart, guess it didn’t happen

@Nanos

@theabbie what about a running average over account age?

Popularity metrics rarely work as expected.

@C0D4 You mean (Score/Age)? Shouldn't we consider number of Rants and Comments?

I am so confused now, so am I in a top 100 or not

@theNox You are in top 100 and among those top 100 you are #53 based on interaction rate.

@Nanos An Ideal algorithm should, it should also do sentiment analysis to see amount of hate in rants and comments, I am not a professional, I can only deal with numbers.

@theabbie yea, but it's been a long week and I don't have coffee to do the math.

So 🤔

We want to know most influential accounts.

Not sure if it works, but something like:

( (TotalUpDoots /(totalRants+totalComments) ) ) / totalDaysSinceAccountCreation

Just yank the top 50 and see what it looks like.

@C0D4 Let a = Score
b = Total Rants & comments
c = age

As per your request,

Popularity = (a/b)/c = a/bc

a/b = Rate of Growth with Time

a/bc = Rate Of Growth with Time per Rant/comment

I hope it works.

@Nanos You are insanely fast typer, there are competitions and you can earn real prize money.

@theabbie can't be any less wrong then what we have so far 😅

@theabbie kinda like the new list you posted, I didn’t wanna wanna call that ratio “quality”
I just did cause long back i had a suggestion to @dfox to provide functionality to remove ++ from app UI.

At that time argument was made that that will encourage shit post, i said that ++ is not metric of shit post , and the list you provide proves it.

Ideally ++ is a function of your no of interaction (rants comments) and also it’s a function of your current ++ , and sometimes it overtakes the actual quality of post

There is time when current ++ attracts more ++ even if it’s a shit post. It acts a deceiving bias , hence my need to hide it from my app ui.

@F1973 We are making it too complicated, let's see this first.

@F1973 @theabbie will top in that case

@theabbie i think the problem here is that people remove their comments and rants but keep ++, ideally if the total no of ++ on rant and comment != their total ++ you can invalidate those accounts from this list

@theabbie you know, that's probably closer to the mark.

@hardfault Much better if we drop this idea, no algorithm will be perfect. The best users are those who are loved by everyone and algorithm can't find that.

@C0D4 Would be more accurate if we calculate all users, not feasible, so, this is acceptable.

@theabbie who needs to find best user?
I thought we are just statistics junkies trying figure out different leaderboard for fun and giggles

@hardfault this fun is using DevRant API and I don't think dfox will find this fun, We are fine with this list. There are many possibilities, maybe we will do it in future.

@F1973 ahh got it it’s the memes tag @0x00 post are all memes

Yeah you’re right it’s not possible to do what i said, i was just surprised to see >100 points for an account and all of the post in that account are memes

@hardfault @theabbie the list shows that it's easier to get ++ on a rant than on a comment.

@electrineer @Jilano is a proof of of this theory

@theabbie This is the first push notif I got from devrant in a year, what did I do to deserve this?

@BinaryByter Your Score/(age*no.of rants/comments) Ratio is among top 100, Nothing to be proud of, just saying.

JUST MAKE A FUCKING WEBSITE FFS DONT SPAM MY NOTIFS

@theabbie I'm proud now, Sorry

@yellow-dog NO

@theabbie maybe split the list to best by comments and best by rants?

One interesting thing would be to find the most upvoted comments on the site. The most upvoted rants we already have in-app.

@yellow-dog popularity comes at a COST

@electrineer good idea, dfox will kill me, I think it's better to ask dfox to find that than fetching every rant to do so, it might be a simple SQL statement, I don't want to abuse the API again.

@F1973 @C0D4 These are the most influential people among top 1000 based on number of comments on last 30 rants

I could have easily been on top of this but I am not in top 1000, Sad

What? Me?? I haven't posted in ages lol

@theabbie another quite interesting metric would be how often a user is @mentioned. But yeah, impossible to get without access to all comments.

Why are we still here.. just to suffer

@electrineer Best way is to conduct elections

@devTea Thanks for ++ bombing

@theabbie does this make me an influencer?

@devTea hah, well in my case life just got really busy and devrant sorta just fell off my radar. This is the first time I've been mentioned in months, so It was like a reminder that devrant still exists and is still on my phone 😅

@Elyz People love you, what else do you need?

@theabbie something to quell the existential dread would be nice.

@frogstair Number of peoples commenting on your rant, there are lot of comments on trollers rants too, but, we can ignore that.

@Elyz aww, don't worry, you will find someone who will love you the way you deserve, life sucks sometimes, not always.

@theabbie ew no thanks. I was thinking drugs, I don't want a person

@Elyz Maybe you will fall in love with a drug dealer

My influential Score is 2391, and average of 217 comments per rant.

Ooooo this is nice :p

Let's just rank everyone based on their user id

If you have the data, I'd love to see a listing of ++ divided by user id or something similar

@ewpratten user ID is assigned in chronological order, starting at 487 for dfox, dividing would be same as giving more weightage to old users, I have the list of earliest users, read the thread, top 30 earliest users.

@theabbie yep. I'm familiar with the ID system.

There are the devs, then a large block of space, then some test accounts and early adopters, then a large space, then everyone else.

Just curious

@ewpratten Here's earliest 2000 users leaderboard https://gist.github.com/theabbie/...

Awe, I'm in top 50? I love you guys <3 :')

@115105109 You're just influential, nothing to be proud of.

@theabbie how didn't the top 30 earliest user not pick "Fuck"?!

@115105109 Is he still there? It doesn't find deleted accounts @Fuck

@115105109 He's No More

@theabbie yeah, I tried renaming to Fuck, but "it was registered", so I changed to this

@PressTitude It's blacklisted I guess

Yet @Fuck doesn't bring up anything...this looks like a charade. @dfox @trogus we want answers

77 77 77

@theabbie

> Your just inferential, nothing to be proud of.

I just saw this. That's everything to be proud of.

Wow, lotta ancient souls summoned. 'uge crowd :D

Also good to see Alice back.

@theabbie And quality is subjective so no worries :)

Wait, I'm 443, that's a good thing as a security engineer ;)

@linuxxx Yeah, But you have been at top of leaderboard since eternity, so, congratulations.

I'm at #27? About half of that is probably actual content. The other half is just shit memes from Twitter. I have like 3-4 OC memes I made myself. May removing jokes/memes could make it more accurate in a sense.

@hashedram You are just "influential", it also means you have good taste of memes, anyways, nothing to be proud of.

With all due respect (which is none by the way), could you stop spamming half of devRant just because you discovered an API?

@Condor Data has already been gathered, so, it's not spamming anymore, we are just trying different ranking factors, I hope you understand.

@theabbie you did tag him three times in this same post because he was included in your list tho...

@NoMad But Popularity comes at a COST

@Condor Sorry, but you should be proud to be on the "wall of fame" thrice

@theabbie I think he gives zero fucks about popularity. #Same

@NoMad He should just consider these as awards for serving the community, since the community has made him great, community can also bring him down, It's better if he just accepts all the recognition.

@theabbie you sound sooooooooo stupid right now.

@NoMad I am just saying, it's not a big deal, consider it a joke and let go, that's it

What @NoMad said - it's just a number at the end of the day. Can't buy groceries with internet points ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Condor You can buy pets instead.

@Condor These numbers represent your contribution

@theabbie no they don't

@NoMad that means I am same as linuxxx

@NoMad abbie is again in this mode where his answers are completely nonsensical. Please stop triggering the poor man.

@electrineer Condor is rebelling for no reason, what's the big deal in creating a leaderboard?

@theabbie stop bothering about it

@electrineer okay

@Alice imo your comment fits the discussion in this rant better https://devrant.com/rants/3162367/...

@Alice Some people are suffering with success

I've been away from devRant for quite some time now and suddenly I'm getting mentions, I was like who the hack dares to wake me up from my slumber... I'm still amazed that I'm in top 50 tho.

@Aitkotw All the core members have been away, you guys need to make this community great

@theabbie Don't take it the wrong way but personally, I really liked this community when it was really small. Limited to certain number of people and stumbling into them in every other post was the charm. Now, it's almost like every other social platform. I really support the growth of this community and really happy to see a platform grow where I met some really awesome people.

I still have this app installed and occasionally come to check out some stuff. But not sure if I'll be back.

@Aitkotw They should disable sign-ups and only allow registration through invites, like lobste.rs, but any community is bound to grow and with growth comes toxic people. We can still make this community fun.

@Alice No for what?

@devTea I'm surprised that I'm at 55. I mean I check in maybe once or twice in 2 months. I'm insanely afk rn and still doing great. Strange...

...

@theabbie wow. I am here, almost after a year or more. Glad to see myself in top 100.

Seriously, never expected this.

Since I am back after years, let me share a secret.

#60 is my ex-teammate and a good friend whom I introduced devrant. Her contents ended up better than mine. And she often teased me for that.
