@dfox @trogus How about a !rant option to automatically inform users that the rant isn't really a rant?

Yeah, I've been thinking about requiring a category/type label on posts that could cover the whole range, like rant, question, non-dev, meme, etc. Which could allow for more filtering and to better inform the learning algo.

Let the default be rants and the user can then choose to see everything else.

Yes please!

This is not a good idea. 95% of posts here aren't rants!

if(rant.contains("!rant")) {
//rant about it not being a rant
}

@calmyourtities unless it is a meta rant against rants with !rant which aren't really rants but the meta rant contains the !rant...:)

@calmyourtities What about !(!rant) hmm? 👀
