Any idea how does that work in practice? Seems to me like an unresolvable problem, granted I haven't given it much thought.
If users are identifyable, cross-platform self-promotion is inevitable, it's kind of human nature. If users are anon, content is not curatable and quality is unlikely.
I think Twitter Spaces is pretty decent FWIW. Communities already exist around certain topics, there's plenty of subcultures on Twitter. And the platform is already reputation-centric, you can make of it what you will by following appropriate people. So if a reputable person organizes (and curates speakers in) a Space for a given topic, it can make for decent conversations to tune it. Seems kind of as good as anon voice-chatrooms can get.
