@jhilden@vis.social Vibes need to emerge, propagate, consolidate/self-maintain.
I think early platform vibe is just in absence of this having happened (yet).
But I suspect the curation algorithms have a lot to do with what culture/norms can consolidate, because they're implicitly selection pressures for content.
Reduced visibility of engagement metrics also reduces cloud chasing & ...weirdmageddon stuff?
I just saw a nice toot on mastodon that resonated:
"People just talk normal here."
