Good point indeed. Makes me want someone sciency to quantify the good faith engagement here vs other places for pseudonymous accounts. I haven’t really compared, but if you say it’s higher here then I’ll celebrate. And I’m sure the selection pressure for who is here is part of it. I bet the high likelihood of having been wrong about some part of our “crypto” thesis at some point and lost money because of it is part of it too.

2 other big factors I think come into play:
1) Lack of algorithmic feed. Inflammatory posts/replies get a short lived moment in the spotlight, if at all. And then they’re gone. Algorithmic feeds change that as that short lived engagement is fed to more and more people.
2) Greater accountability to other users. I’m not sure why this exists more here compared to other social networks, but it seems to, at least from my perspective.
