interesting but i'm not seeing the causation... that first bit and the last bit seem to be true, but how are they causally related?

Tweets that communicate at the highest rate are rewarded more than others. There are a limited number of topics communicable at that rate in 280.pic.twitter.com/krcMLZH26D

hmm... doesn't this effect rely on sufficient shared context between the communicating parties, the proportion of eligible people within the network, and the availability of connected paths between those people?

Yes. Like, there are adaptive parts, for sure. I just think the limiting effects are bad. (Also, it's why memes are popular. We're all saying the same stuff with different funny images. The delight is in the Database Animals process https://www.amazon.com/Otaku-Database-Animals-Hiroki-Azuma/dp/0816653526 ….)

do u think users connect to each other *based* on their ability to participate in an otaku-like process... and wouldn't this imply they're self-sorting by shared contexts1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I think they are. Although I think the most of the communicated information is just identity.

Mostly the identity thing. I think mediums like twitter end up endowing us with huge confidence in our stereotypes while reducing belief durability which in turn makes stereotypes even more reliable which leads to less careful belief evaluation...
