Just a suggestion, I really liked this feature on rif. Hide on read is ok, but I prefer the vote, and feeling when I vote and something disappears.
I like this idea a lot, but I wouldn’t want it to be an either/or setting. It’d be perfect if I could set my swipe gesture to hide on upvote, and the upvote button to just mark as read on upvote. Or even just a different swipe gesture for each, would be awesome. Usually I want a post to go away immediately, so I do a lot of vote and hide swipe gestures one after the other. But sometimes I’m weird and want to leave a post in my feed in case I want to go back to it.
Doesn’t this turn it into a weird game where you have to have an opinion on everything?
It encouraged it, but you still have the option of manually hiding posts if you prefer to not have an opinion on something.
