That may have other benefits, but I don't see how it helps w/ the problem I was trying to solve.

it produces more positive externalities as people focus on their immediate community instead of joining the arms race towards the very top.

Okay, but that seems a rather different topic.

If the q is "how can signaling have positive externalities?" the easiest solution is to make communities bear most of the externalities the signals produce; (i) neighbors can do a better job of tracking whether signalers hurt the community, (ii) or toxic communities will collapse
