I claimed a bunch of Moxie token over the past few days – this appears to have accumulated organically as a result of my casts and interactions. I cannot tell what the mechanism is by which this occurs but it seems to be that when certain people respond to you it generates a lot of Moxie, whereas others do not. So you may have a trending and popular post but if the more powerful accounts don't engage with it there is not much Moxie generated.

I think it would be more democratic and come closer to achieving organic economic viability if the mechanism were more based on engagement agnostically rather than favoring certain accounts. At least the favoritism should not be so wildly disproportionate and can allow for posts enjoyed by lowbies to generate rewards rather than building around a few power users.

unfortunately agnostic engagement is hard to measure in a way that isn’t vulnerable to manipulation, especially on an open network 

social capital systems are bad but better than any other option for something like this

but it’s pretty nice to have an open protocol where anyone can compute their own version of engagement score

is that not similar to any human social capital system

I’m sympathetic to that. It doesn’t need to be totally agnostic but it’s very strongly tilted around getting a few people to reply to you to you right now
