Thanks for linking to your comment on the Hypothes.is post! Will check it out. I by no means think this (or related ideas) have not been built / attempted. This is an experiment, not meant to be well-funded or even large. But, I take your feedback in good spirits, appreciate the thoughts!

Thanks! All good, I think some people are interpreting this as 1) me thinking this is some sort of groundbreaking novel idea and 2) that I am trying to scale this in a venture scale sort of way haha. Neither are true. The walled garden idea came up elsewhere too, really like it and considered it. Just have to think through details and add the user management side.

Yeah I was considering that idea too, like a trusted circle feature. But haven't done any user management yet as this is purely an experiment. Agree automation can only go so far, but at least that can catch the low hanging fruit.

haha true, I think the thing I am most after with this experiment is a more collaborative "alive" feeling outside of social networks. but of course we don't want to grant everyone write access to every part of every page.

Yeah this is definitely a fear.. hopefully we can attract the well-intentioned people and put some nice automations in place for keeping spam to a minimum. Let me know if you've seen any similar projects do this well.
