I wrote about why I think system conditions matter more than individual performance in producing quality writing, and why CLPs (conversational liquidity providers) on FC are underserved. Inspired by "Quality is Systemic," a great blog post by Jacob Kaplan-Moss, and by the members of the Return On Attention group chat. https://paragraph.xyz/@danicaswanson/quality-writing-is-systemic

> facilitating ongoing conversations spanning days or weeks (instead of prioritizing cast volume or engagement) this is was one of only things I miss from Reddit. I felt like posts had a longer relevance - on the scale of days, weeks, even months rather than hours. Gave time for ideas to simmer.

Indeed. "Time for ideas to simmer" is something I greatly miss from old-school discussion forums, too. I'm not a fan of the perpetual-now algo feeds that bury everything so quickly that it becomes "yesterday's news" and is largely forgotten in a matter of hours.

Yes! I find myself trying to come back to posts after I've thought about them, but then I forget who posted it or where... Also, are you familiar with Foster Writing? Their community has editors and CLPs (I think) to support writers and conversations. May be of interest https://www.foster.co/

I hear you about forgetting where things were posted. I know I've unintentionally dropped the ball on a bunch of great convo threads here because it's so hard to resurface them. Sometimes it feels kind of demoralizing too, because most people have already moved on from the threads by the time I have a chance to give them my full attention. I had read about Foster at some point, but hadn't checked it out for awhile. Nice to see well-organized writer collectives like this. I'm especially curious about how the "professional editing" aspect works, so I'll poke around a bit more. Thanks for the pointer.
