The last point seems like a side effect of the second being applied.

I'd probably focus on the first point, as that has a cascading effect on the 2nd and 3rd points.

Wrapping up my Twetch test.

Results?

It still takes too much investment in time and energy to find signal in all the shitposting noise.

I'll be going back to only replying to notifications and DMs here, rather than focusing energy here.

I'm not aware of what the Twetch folks have in mind for accounts across platforms. I'd assume an account on your platform =/= an account on Twetch.

The second point is relatively easy, if you can source the transactions.

The search function is useful, but clunky and slow.

For that matter, the web app as a whole is clunky and slow. I'm literally waiting for the text to load in as I type. It's ~9-10 words behind my typing.

Ideally, the feed should be self-curated and curation options come from easy to use tools that are available in organic interactions.

Twetch would also do well to install an incentivized tagging system that allows users to tag content "silently"...

Imagine you could identify content as referring to a specific topic and whenever people like that content, getting a portion of the funds from that like, if it was shown because of a search on the topic, or a curation option by the user.

This would incentivize followers to interact with content both to earn, by identifying topics, and by improving the quality of their feeds.

Incentives can help, but they don't solve everything.

That's not necessarily the case.

In time, if the culture becomes heterogeneous, the idea of being an "influencer" on Twetch will change. The leaderboard will be even more useless than it already is.

It has been discussed before.

It hasn't yet been built.

Yes, these are good things, but it isn't really features that are a problem here... Maybe branching is a bit too prolific, but that's about it.

The problem is on the level of users of the system.

It operates on an assumption that there may be something I want to see there.

It's the same as Twitter/Facebook/Youtube algoritms trying to show me something they think I'd like, whereas it'd be better to just give me good self-curation tools.

I apologized because you shared something with me that you find valuable, and I respect and appreciate that, but I do not find value in it.

A small userbase means there is less to filter through to find signal. More volume also implies more noise.

I'm sure there's a way to do it. The question is, how do you do the filtering, and what costs will be associated with sourcing the twetches?

I'd reply in kind, but I don't think it's acceptable to insult the disabled.

In other news, bark more, chihuahua.

Btw, in the span of ~12 hours, I've gained 1/4 your total follower count here.

Who is the one who hasn't done any work on Twetch?

You don't understand proof of work if you think anything I've said indicates I'm against it. Bark more, chihuahua.

420.69 BSV for u/39 would be an offer I couldn't refuse, if anyone's interested.

The relevance of one post to another is not determined by the reader's intentions.

My BS flags are flying high on this one...

I'm not going to take much time with it. Sorry.

Bark more, chihuahua.

Let's say Derek Moore was given the opportunity to ask a question that would end up on my feed.

Why would I find that valuable?

It all comes down to signal:noise. Don't optimize for noise, optimize for signal.

That's one of the things I do when I take a pulse of Twetch. It's almost all shitposting. Noisey.

I think the bones of the system are generally good. People need to learn how to use them to bring value instead of to just shitpost.

I don't mind it either, if it's not crowding everything else out.

Having slept on it, I'd say there's something to your idea, but it hasn't quite hit the mark yet. I'm not sure what adjustments would do it, though.

How most people use the troll toll is effectively as a blocking mechanism.

It should be used as a minimal upcharge, and should be tied to notifications rather than forced into any reply. Pay, but only if you want to notify the person.

It's all about signal:noise ratios, and recognizing that what is signal to some is noise to others, and vice versa.

Aggregated feeds will never maximize signal:noise.
