    I have a very difficult time imagining an internet that is both interoperable and ranking-free. Now, that having been said, we are well outside my area of expertise here so I’d love to hear from folks who know more than me.

      What about just giving transparency to what the ranking is and letting people control it? Analogous to “sort by new/best/top” bit ideally with more knobs to tweak and a bunch of preset options?

        Then it’s just more easily abused by SEO. “Best” according to who? Votes? Number of views? Page rank? All numbers can be manipulated.

        Yeah, please only include lightweight pages please, with short texts. For example.
