Unfashionable.

"Useful energy" in physics has a non-normative definition, actually. It is in contract to non-useful energy, which is energy in the universe that's in too high of an entropic state to be harnessed for any "useful" work: chemical reactions, conversion to other types of energy, etc.

Since I basically think that everything we think of as "economic activity" is essentially a higher order way of thinking about useful energy in an thermodynamic system, I think you're somewhat on the right path with this thinking, here.

Define "economic value" from first principles.

Not sure. I was a pretty active user. Opened it several times a day.

Yeah. I know there's web clients. It's what I'm using right now. Just saying I'll be on less frequently. Not completely out.

Probably going to be posting a little less frequently here, until Damus is the AppStore, as I seemingly got knocked out of the Damus TestFlight. ☹️

Expect the engagement farming on Twitter to get far worse.

Like I said, I'm open to the idea I'm dumb, here.

I'm just thinking in terms of network theory. It seems likely to me, that graph connectivity will be tend to have a lot of concentrated areas, particularly around high profile individuals who may attract very high follower counts. I can imagine this creating serious usability problems. These are solvable problems. Just thinking ahead.

Without something like bloom filters, the bandwidth demands to mobile devices will also balloon, with the vast majority of data they're receiving from the relay, irrelevant to the client and just getting dropped. But once again, maybe I'm missing something.
