@patrickxrivera @cdixon Exactly. Games have figured out a way to do this ( Destiny resets the level cap for example). Can’t think of a social network that has done this yet though. — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of people to thank. First, @eugenewei for his magnum opus piece that inspired this a couple of years ago. @dwr, @antoniogm , @skominers , @balajis for input and conversations that shaped this. @add_hawk for his fantastic Twitter paper. — PolitiTweet.org

This was a lot of fun to write and in sharing this with friends, we all got to debate a lot of historical social network product changes and patterns through this lens. I mention a few but there are several more examples in each category of problem and solution. — PolitiTweet.org

I walk through a few common (and uncommon) ways to tackle this. - "Universal basic status" (various ways to confer temporary status on newcomers to help with mobility) - decaying status - resetting the overall "meta". — PolitiTweet.org

It especially poses a problem for newcomers who a) model the wrong behavior b) find the "game" too hard to play or c) protests from entrenched users who resist change/make it harder for newcomers to grow. — PolitiTweet.org

This came out of several white boarding sessions with founders and builders on common patterns that make networks fail or succeed. One common failure pattern: most social networks confer status and high status "inequality" (measured by Gini coefficient) and low mobility is bad. — PolitiTweet.org

👋 POST: Status traps and "universal basic status" in social networks. Modeling social networks with economic tools lets us see how social networks struggle with high status inequality and pose challenges for newcomers. This was a fun one to write. 👉:https://t.co/ChDqwZWoPH — PolitiTweet.org

Collecting things online is underrated. For example: my collection of memos has brought me great joy, especially when people email me about them. https://t.co/e4z9rPyjcb — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve come to realize there is a content - “time in your life” fit. You need to watch content at the right time and if you’re early or late, it may not resonate. I now rewatch old content and it’s amazing what opens up to me now. Ex: being a parent changes any movie with kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Prey is the sequel the original Predator needed. Highly recommended. Lives up to the hype. When the inevitable showdown comes, you are thrilled. Why is this not in theaters?? — PolitiTweet.org

New hobby: collecting typewriters. Been forcing myself to type a couple of pages every night. There's something so *tactile* about the sound and the mechanism that you feel more connected to what you write. Hurts like hell though (suspect my fingers will get used to it). — PolitiTweet.org

@Austen The intersection between sound settings / volume and alarm is always unclear to me. — PolitiTweet.org

I rarely do this but I want to take a moment to cheer on @TomJWhiteIV (and @ali_moiz ). Tom has been the secret weapon behind a lot of my projects (like @ObserverEffect). His thoughtfulness and creativity are unparalleled - he is a star. Super thrilled for him + @Stonks_dot_com — PolitiTweet.org
