Show HN: Ten_cubed – Artificially restricted social graph

Just wanted to share an idea I've had for a while for creating social networks that are useful but don't lead to eventual enshittification. The idea is simple:

- Each user gets 10 connections - User networks go out to MAX 3rd degree connections - Users can set their max network preference (1st, 2nd or 3rd degree)

This leads to networks that have a maximum 1,110 theoretical connections.

It leads to all sorts of fun side-effects, like coveting 1st degree connections and volatile networks that swell and contract as connections change.

Let me know your thoughts!
