You get me. I am torn between releasing cool features to help people feel connected and holding them back until I have established some sort of code of conduct. Move fast and break things along the way, or try to do it right, especially when the people on the platform would bias towards the vulnerable ones. The engagement I am seeing right now feels magical, and I am afraid if I don't move fast enough, people would lose interest and not come back.
- sdenton4 4y agoSimple up/down thumb feedback and some graph theory... See if you can find large components of positive interaction, and only connect the people who get more than a couple down-thumbs to each other. And maybe a 'did this person show you their penis?' feedback toggle for good measure.
- bubblic 4y agohaha, that last category is a must in any social platform where you can show pic/vid or draw something!
- sameers 4y agoPeople WILL lose interest and not re-engage - that's the default state for any social network. You have to figure out why they would come back - is it to re-connect with someone they spoke to, or to read some new content on the site, or to express again how they are feeling? And how do you make this all easy through the features you build? You can start with some basic Code of Conduct that let's say Github, Reddit or Twitter uses - no need to reinvent the wheel. Then you can modify it as time goes to suit what's working or not for your community. If you have a good model for iterative improvement that puts the user in the loop somehow, it'll be reflected in your engagement stats.
