Yea, I think that's the problem. There's some Goldilocks zone between totally unstructured and rigidly structured that we haven't found yet.

My question is: what would be the subjective experience of that state? It feels like stasis, like the end of a process, but maybe that’s wrong?

Oh, I think the fundamental problem is just that it would be a lot less socially salient. Like twitter will always win because it makes you care deeply about irrelevant shit. I bet great platforms already exist, but they feel like eating your broccoli.

I often imagine a contacts organizer, under user control, with good ux for, "if A is on this new network let them know I'm posting here under alias Y." <Share Your Address Book With Random App> is such a dark pattern, and server-side social graphs are such a mistake

This is kinda why I think social graphs are the wrong representation for solving a lot of problems. Like, I want agents to manage all that. It's exhausting. But, I can't imagine how to design that and what a better representation would be.

I have my box of pet mathematical structures that I think are parts of the answer. But they require prototypes and iteration to be tested and I'm unlikely to prototype around this issue. (Always up for unpacking them though, if you like.)

Yea. I have bits and pieces of an algorihtmic and social muting/blocking system halfway done. I'll finish them post defense. As long as I can overcome my "what if I miss something!" apprehension, it's pretty useful -- an immune system for content and social exposures.
