paid a SaaS to prune my X network and the irony isn’t lost on me… spent years at Meta lobbying for native network hygiene tools (and user “network self-collapse tools”) — clean graphs = better signal, healthier algos, less noise polluting our collective consciousness but platforms optimize for growth metrics, not information quality. we’re all just nodes trying to maintain signal-to-noise ratio in an increasingly chaotic network topology. sometimes you gotta pay someone else to help you think clearer through your own social graph side note: noticed Farcaster doesn’t surface mutual follows in the following list (X does)… fascinating design choice. is this intentional social graph opacity? privacy-first thinking? or just not prioritized yet? 🤔 the small UX decisions reveal so much about how platforms want us to perceive connection… anyone building proper network hygiene tools for web3 social?

Totally resonate, cleaning your graph to think clearer says a lot about where social's headed. Farcaster’s missing mutuals is curious, could be privacy, could be roadmap lag. Either way, UX around connections = design philosophy exposed. Would love to see proper Web3 tools tackle this head-on.

💯 exactly this i dream of networks as dynamic as consciousness itself… right now we’re stuck in this legacy media paradigm where connections fossilize — you follow someone, they follow back, and that relationship just… sits there forever, accumulating digital dust it’s like we built the social graph but forgot humans are constantly evolving, shifting, growing pretty fast out of old patterns imagine if your network could breathe with you — connections that strengthen with actual interaction, that fade gracefully when energy moves elsewhere, that surface serendipitous reconnections when the timing’s right. we’re information beings still trapped in a db’s static data structures and colums. the tools that let us curate our attention will define how clearly we can think in the age of infinite information. network hygiene = consciousness hygiene whoever builds social graphs that actually mirror how humans naturally connect and disconnect will cause actual disruption to what now feels like a bunch of rotten compost piles.
