Part of the challenge of firehoses of links or hilights being less valuable to others, is that they are the residue of an particular persons thought process and that thought process was clear to them but obviously not us. A description of the list might help, but there is something more. We have these thoughts for a reason and my motivations will be very particular to me and you probably won’t care so much about them. So yes knowledge can be social but it is first hyper personal and then social if you can find people with similar motivations and thoughts. But to most, that residue of thought will just feel like a pile of stuff they don’t connect with. It takes a lot of effort to recast it for a broader audience and that’s more blogging than note taking. Finding your cohort is an altogether different project as well, you need to find an existing nexus of the right people if it exists or become the maintainer of one and attract those people, this is more like being an influencer or party planner. The idea that any note taking platform will be the nexus is unrealistic, so I think we will always have these hyper personal digital gardens and out of them we will harvest things to share with others, sometimes you put out a stand of free carrots at the end of the driveway, sometimes you bring a basket of raspberries to a friend you know who loves them, most likely you take it all to the farmers market, lastly maybe after much planning and work you host a garden party but it won’t be in the actual garden beds but in the adjacent lawn. :-)
