I started my community for aspiring songwriters a few days ago and have got off to a flying start and am absolutely loving discourse!

But one thing that has started to emerge, some voices in the discussion are clearly of a higher quality to others. Something like reddit deals with this by pushing up good stuff and letting the weaker stuff wash away. Discourse on the other hand is flat to mimic the flow of a real life conversation.

What is the philosophy here? Does discourse strive to make all voices equal? I want the best voices in the discussion to shine forward but it can feel at times like a good conversation can be diluted in discourse by lower quality content.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
