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?
