I think this explains a lot about platform governance, too. Stopping bullying isn’t trivial, but bullying is a killer app for e.g. Twitter, and it doesn’t get quickly dampened automatically mostly because highly engaged users would hate if that happened.https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1261503758149709826 …

What looks like dunking also looks a whole lot like signal boosting. Or an in-joke. Or legitimate criticism. It's much, much, _much_ harder than it looks to get this right.

Same reason Twitter lets people post screenshots of tweets by users who have blocked them.

You can't prevent that, so long as screenshots exist and you let people share images.

I honestly think we just haven't had enough time for social evolution. Communities that encourage ragebaiting are like cancer, they grow quickly but nobody likes them. Eventually platforms will form that successfully find ways to disincentivize, and users will end up there.

I like to think of all the big web publishing platforms as pioneer species. Growing quickly on newly available land but eventually they will be replaced by those who prioritize minimizing churn over maximizing growth.

Dunno if it's that easy. How do you tell a dunk from any other quote-tweet? How do you tell a mob from a normal virality event?

It’a very interesting how much the dynamic changes so quickly based on the mood of the participants. Maybe just confirmation bias but I think as COVID is stressing people out, online interactions seem more and more like walking through crossfire on a battlefield

Often the anti-features of a platform tell you more about it than its features do. Which ideas were given full, quantitative consideration, and then rejected?
