Interesting idea, but what's stopping someone from creating a second account?

• axelroze 5y ago
  Inconvenience. With the second account one has to re-friend all the users from the first account. Also it would lead to bad social standing as by re-friending it will be obvious they are breaking the 100 posts per person per life rule. This could even lead to automatic bans by studying the connection structure.

  That's what I want... this would force me to make a different account for every topic I might comment/post on, and they can have their own local networks. If it's a topic that I know a lot about (eg what I do at my day job), it would force a fresh start every few years. This is in contrast to my twitter account, which is such a mess that I don't like posting b/c "most" people who will see it followed me for some other topic.

  Nothing and that's exactly what would happen if it became popular. You'd get @kanyewest7, @kanyewest289, @kanyewest3058, etc. Also, the younger you are when you join the network, the fewer posts you get per year. If you join as an 18 year old, you have a little over 1 post per year remaining. If you join at 90, you have 10 posts per year, etc.

    Presumably they could ban duplicate accounts. But yeah 100 posts per year or 1 per day would be interesting too and wouldn’t render your account as useless when you max out temporarily instead of permanently.

    That’s a feature! That 90yo probably has rather more worth sharing than the 18yo.
