The thing is, how do you prevent stagnation? People equate good platforms to ones where they have a degree of control, which results in atomic communities. Self reinforcing if you let them.
- balfirevic 8y agoWhen you say atomic communities, do you mean something like echo chambers? Yeah, it happens. It's OK for it to happen to some degree - there needs to be some amount of shared common understanding between participants to have a useful discussion [0]. But if common ground is only thing that's left, you have an echo chamber. How to dial this in? I have no idea. HN seems to do this better than most, although some topics fare better than others.
