Slashdot had an interesting variation on voting. People would be randomly assigned mod points to give to posts they like. It didn’t happen every day but when it did you spent those points and then it was other people’s turn the next day. Then they had a similar meta-moderation system on top of that so that misused points or trolling could get corrected. I’ve not seen it’s like since.
Randomocracy(or Sortition) is considered one of the better forms of limited democracy, and it worked well for SD that I remember in 97-99. Much harder to brigade, if at all.

You could also vote things as funny or insightful and other tags. And you could then of course filter based on those labels.
