Twitter mods have low barriers to entry, so there is no early adopter concentration effect.

tokoroten Why don’t you move to the new Twitter mod, I was verbalizing to myself a long time ago! Twitter mod has low barriers to entry, so there’s no point in going there because early adopter won’t be filtered out - I guess
 No point in going unless the UI is completely different from Twitter.

  • tokoroten The problem of social networking sites that have old men in them is over, this can be explained by the social capital aspect.

  • Initially, the network converts to SOC because of all the early adopters.

  • When laggardly old men come in, they don’t increase social capital when they connect, but rather they mount up and suck up social capital. - [I wrote in Why do social networking sites rise and fall?

tokoroten However, even for the clubhouse, the days of early adopters being filtered and interesting are over in about 2 weeks, so this Maybe this way of thinking is already old


niku_name How about bluesky, which is invitation only and has barriers to entry at the moment

  • tokoroten I have an account, but it’s like, umm 


  • Invitability is not yet a barrier to entry

  • I’d like to see a little more literacy hurdle.

  • niku_name I see
I think Twitter has grown along with everyone having smartphones, so by analogy, I wonder if social networking sites suited to the hardware that everyone will have next will become popular. I wonder if there will be a social networking service that is suited to the hardware that everyone will have next. Or a SNS that incorporates AI in a good way.

  • nishio Humans, in fact, don’t want to have any kind of conversation with an unspecified number of humans, so they will talk to AI. Humans explicitly “following” other humans the concept of “social networking” itself is archaic will be replaced by personalized AI “understanding preferences” that “this person likes this kind of conversation”.

nishio I’ve been saying for a long time that Scrapbox is the next SNS, but the literacy hurdle is so high that it’s hard to get more people. Get off your ass and free yourself from old-fashioned notions like “post”, homo sapiens.

  • tokoroten I like the Etherpad one where the background is colored for each person who wrote it, I hope that one gets implemented soon!

  • To feel a sense of co-editing afterwards, that is very good!

  • nishio I think coloring is just a View issue, since there is data for the updater ID for each row, but the icon notation is sufficient and explicit, so it’s not implemented. I wonder if this is not implemented.
