Incentive problem: Separating one’s output into neat categories is not always in a one’s interests, and I may be naive to expect people to want to do it. The prospect of capitalizing on the audience you’ve built up by being on-brand by befouling your posts with unrelated political content/self-promotion is probably most of the point of using social media for most people.
I suppose in this case, it might be necessary to move away from promoting ideal social configurations then waiting for people to purely altruistically embody them, cause they wont, and focus more on promoting evolution over materially viable configurations. But of course if you foster a culture of relying on blind iteration you will end up stuck in a molochean equilibrium so there’s going to need to be a balance.
