> “This is a simple reality of social beings” Yes. This simple reality that we naturally “follow” or “amplify” what others are doing is indeed a hallmark of sociality. This is a centralizing force that we leverage to learn from and align with each other. Centralization is what we do well, almost too well. Centralization creates bigger societies and feeds bigger government and bigger business. No. I am not suggesting equality of outcome. Indeed, equality can only be measured and outcome can only be enforced by the same centralizing forces. Not this. To be clear, I am pointing out the obvious fact that (as is human nature) followers will always prefer to amplify the signal that others are following. Having less to do with quality of content than influencer power, this IS a centralizing force. No bones about it. I have no solution or desire to define or impose fairness. I am simply pointing out the irony of “decentralization” as a desired feature in a social network. It ain’t easy.
