@openrisk @noondlyt the "firehose" is actually more like an oversized kitchen party, where there's lots of chance meetings, and many conversations going on. Wouldn't like it every day, but it's good for meeting interesting people. Then you take a few people and move them to your mutuals and follow them more closely, some more than others.
There's quite a bit of chance in how I met friends over my life.
What features or restrictions would make for a more social network, you think?
