I spent a week without Priority mode and the feed was much worse. However, I recognize that I’m likely missing messages from people who are excluded from Power Badge from one reason or another. I wonder if there is a rating system (e.g. Uber driver stars) that would help filter user quality with more granularity.

It's a tough problem and often times the roads lead back to the same problem with power badges: influence is concentrated to popular incumbents. If it's an evenly weighted ranking then the bots flood in to rate each other.

I think there's another avenue for engaging with non popular users that will be based on more proactive discovery and specific topics. Proof of quality content. Not "show me globally highly rated people" Instead "show me people that have proven to cast about ____"

@sayangel
New users might cast into the void for a bit but by doing so they'll build a verifiable reputation in topic(s). We just need ways to allow those streams of content into your feed. It becomes less about finding a way to get specific users into your feed and instead getting specific topics into your feed.

There should be a system which will give those new influencers chance to pop up in feeds and try to gain the attention. As well as topic centric feeds that will give this chance more often if an author is writing about it.

Topics are a great layer to add to the engagement filter. I’d still want to focus on quality users, but the bar could be more flexible than the power badge’s. Which could then be used to sort suggested users. After that, alternatives other than “engagement” can be experimented with for quality.
