Do you mean like Clubhouse?

Anecdotally, clubhouse rooms were higher quality before they allowed Android users into the platform. Not saying that there's something inherently wrong with android users, there's just a higher noise to signal ratio now.

Probably because the first users were naturally more selected and targeted. Opening up to more people, regardless of their phone, inevitably leads to a noiser experience indeed.

Exclusion by driving away users for being complete dog shit is not what I had in mind. Not a recipe for success. I guess I should have put "any future successful social network".
