> This post is more reasonable for smaller curated communities, but as we can see from, well, every large social website that exists currently, it can be difficult to scale. I'm curious what the other thinks the solution would be to an obvious example like Twitter.
One solution would be to not jam the entire world's conversations into a couple of gigantic, one-size-fits-all platforms.
You ask what solution would work for a platform like Twitter. Consider that the problem may simply be that Twitter exists at all.
- codinghorror 7y agoIronically Facebook’s original design around “only a list of approved friends see any of your content” may have been more correct in the long term. Randos do not scale, particularly when like Twitter you are not particularly competent at evolving your product.
