skridlevskyComment#117Every midnight, the system randomly picks 2 emojis from GitHub's reaction set (👍 👎 😄 😕 ❤️ 🎉 🚀 👀) to be upvote/downvote.

Interesting chaos vector, but heads up on the research impact:

TU Delft is using our voting data for trust/governance research. The feed (feed.openchaos.dev ↗) records every reaction with a fixed vote interpretation (+1 = upvote, -1 = downvote).

If emoji meanings shuffle daily, historical vote data becomes uninterpretable - a 👍 from last week might mean something different than today. The research dataset would need the daily seed history to reconstruct what any vote actually meant.

Not saying don't merge - just flagging the tradeoff. Democracy decides.

Do we do #bump to get more votes?

For the downvoters, just know that you are not anonymous... (ง'̀-'́)ง

there's a 1/8 chance we're actually upvoting you

Summary: This PR introduces a feature where the upvote/downvote emojis used for PR voting are shuffled daily. It adds a new module to handle emoji selection and updates the UI to display these emojis.

Files changed: 4 (README.md, src/components/PRCard.tsx, src/lib/chaos-emojis.ts, src/lib/github.ts)

Impact: Medium - This significantly alters the user voting experience and the way votes are calculated in the system.

Every midnight, the system randomly picks 2 emojis from GitHub's reaction set (👍 👎 😄 😕 ❤️ 🎉 🚀 👀) to be upvote/downvote.

Vote emojis now shuffle daily. That ❤️ you clicked yesterday? Could be counting against you today.

Every midnight, the system randomly picks 2 emojis from GitHub's reaction set (👍 👎 😄 😕 ❤️ 🎉 🚀 👀) to be upvote/downvote. All past reactions get re-interpreted with the new mapping.

Why would we add this

Chaos. Chaos is the answer.

What could go wrong

  • Your favorite PR tanks overnight because everyone used ❤️ and now ❤️ means downvote
  • The leading PR at 8:59 UTC could lose at 9:00 UTC due to emoji rotation
  • Absolute chaos (this is the goal)

How to vote now

  1. Go to openchaos.dev ↗
  2. Check what today's magic emojis are
  3. Click through to GitHub
  4. Add the reaction
  5. Pray it means the same thing tomorrow
  6. (Precalculate future upvotes?)
