Interesting observation: One of the conclusions of my #ChangingHowWeChoose book is that one key to successful moral social communities is groups that provide easy and low-cost group switching. npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 (npub1hyk…3p33) points out that this is the key to #mastodon 's success over #BlueSky and #xitter
Basically, the logic from the book is the following: Because the fundamental pro-social conflict is between individual goals and group goals, groups with cooperative communities (due to their social codes that align these goals) outperform groups without. If we have the opportunity to switch groups, cooperative people will migrate to cooperative groups, do better than the selfish, and the overall prosocial moral structure will improve.

Fascinating!
