<h1>Social software</h1>
<time>2018-01-29</time>
<article>
  <blockquote>
<p>Writing social software is hard. And, as I said, the act of writing social software is more like the work of an economist or a political scientist. And the act of hosting social software, the relationship of someone who hosts it is more like a relationship of landlords to tenants than owners to boxes in a warehouse. </p>
<p>[…]</p>
<p>The patterns here, I am suggesting, both the things to accept and the things to design for, are givens. Assume these as a kind of social platform, and then you can start going out and building on top of that the interesting stuff that I think is going to be the real result of this period of experimentation with social software. </p>
<p><cite><em><a href="http://shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html">A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy</a></em> (<a href="/david/cache/2020/4d81a301bbb7936312cd16e6674f3ff6/">cache</a>)</cite></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Everything is here, since 2003. To sum up even if I encourage you to read the whole piece:</p>
<ul>
<li>How is a group its own worst enemy? Sex talk, identification and vilification of external enemies and religious veneration.</li>
<li>Three things to accept: you cannot completely separate technical and social issues, members are different than users and the core group has rights that trump individual rights in some situations.</li>
<li>Four things to design for: The first thing you would design for is handles the user can invest in. Second, you have to design a way for there to be members in good standing. Three, you need barriers to participation. And, finally, you have to find a way to spare the group from scale.</li>
</ul>
<p>I kind of find these patterns in every group I joined. It should be taken into account within a <a href="/david/stream/2018/01/17/">local constitution</a>. Somehow reminds me <a href="/david/thoughts/#communities">patterns I tried to identify</a> myself. <em>Oh my god</em>, re-reading that piece five years later I realize I already linked to that same page from there…</p>
