@amerika @zleap i think it’s unfair to blame these sites for this uneven distribution of success, because most such distributions look exponential, and it’s not hard to understand why. time and attention is limited. people try to maximise the quality of what they pay attention to.

@thor @zleap

I agree, but I think it's cultural also.

There's no overall culture, so people just focus on their own projects, and no one really connects on anything.

It's like the San Francisco airport or something.

@amerika @thor

Yeah, there are things we could connect on such as sport, music, we just need the content on here to follow then spark interaction.

@zleap @thor

I don't even think it's that.

The place needs a culture other than "we are fleeing from other places."

It's like early Reddit, lotta nerds and dropouts, dissidents and hermits, but there is no clear idea of how people should interact so it becomes scrolling through lots of tangentially-related activity.
