Work in progress — the challenge with scaling quality in channels in a permissionless way. Pick 2.

This makes me wonder if there are any good examples on the internet where a platform has improved or maintained quality while also scaling. Maybe channels don’t need to have huge followings. I personally value quality more than anything else, but I did join FC for the permissionless benefits.

My hunch quality > scale within any given channel. Not sure how to constrain this for overly broad channels which happens on Reddit for example. But if there were a way the mechanics incentivizes say splitting and decentralizing as it got bigger.

Protocol, incentive, and narrative design.

Maybe quality is achieved by granting read access to everyone while limiting write access to x number of users. You could also allow write access to everyone but impose restrictions on the number of casts users can make per day/week, and introduce various membership tiers.
