To those who say toxic culture is inevitable in scaled online communities: I’d say the web and email are doing well. There is toxic stuff of course but also sufficient tools to screen it out. Architecture matters.

The biggest difference imo is that with networks like the web and email, you engage with content/communities you deliberately searched out. It’s the difference between: Users saying “hey computer, I want to see X.” versus Computers (algo recommenders, etc) saying “hey user, you want to see X.”

When I go to a website or interact with people over email, I’m the decision-making agent. But 99% of the time I’m not opening Twitter was a particular question in mind or a particular topic to explore. The app is the decision-making agent that figures out what to surface to me.
