Fascinating Ostrom-inspired framing for online community governance, replacing monolithic permissions (“admins can hide threads”) with richer policies that can be proposed & evolved by the community (eg “threads reported by 10 long-term users are hidden until a jury can vote...”) https://twitter.com/amyxzh/status/1295447132971966473

(Incidentally, @msbernst’s group consistently does some of my favorite work in academic HCI; definitely follow their work if you’re not already!)

One other thing I dig about this paper is that it’s prototyped on top of existing platforms (Reddit, Slack) via APIs. Many researchers would have made a freestanding demo social network instead: it would be easier in various ways. But it would be disconnected from serious use.
