      Worthwhile to consider how the existing social networks are optimised. Twitter is optimised for “engagement,” not “collaboration.” Allowing a greater volume of ideas to have sex in a greater number of combinations seems to me what you’d do to accelerate memetic evolution

      Yes, exactly! This is why I think we need a new social network; or an open protocol for social networks where ranking algorithms are plug-and-play, and the graph and content are federated. My humble sketch of this I call the #Agora.

      the world will be a significantly better place when social media is defacto an open standard, federated, decentralised, decorporated and degovernmented system it’s annoying that we had this in the olden days, and it has been taken from us, (we were led away like sheep )

      We might not be able to fix it forever, and it is important, so I say the time to react is now. Our current social networks could be (likely suboptimal) Agoras. If you agree with the protocol, here is my proposal: let's use #Agora to discuss.

      and here you run into the momentum issue .. all my friends are here .. I read some of your pages but it’s all so tldr ;-) if your system could provide some degree of interoperability with twitter I wouldn’t have to move

      second, unfortunately the social network *i* created gets as much use by its creator as by anybody: none

      Interesting, what was that network? Momentum is hard. My early plan: - Stress the knowledge graph aspect of it, as that might be generally useful. - Run some actual concrete social algorithm on top of it. Example: basic income experiment. I'd be willing to partially fund it.

      Yea. I've been working on something sorta related for my newsletter. Metcalfe's law still exists but...I think people (and I) underestimate how much easier it is to get people to try new places. E.g. I am on [new link] check it out.

      Granted they may not stay, as you alluded to. To which I was told: "make sure single player mode is compelling, too." Been thinking about that a lot recently. (It would make sense for knowledge graphs, too.)
