One of the fun challenges of building social products or even multiplayer games is that you can give people tools but can’t control how they use them.
You can tell people to use quote posts positively but can’t control people using them to dunk. Your game can limit communication to a fixed set of emoji reactions and users will find a way to imbue them with both positive and toxic meanings.
People are the hardest part of social software.
