Agree! Thinking: Do you think people would want to use a social network that always hid not just follows but also likes and reposts? So that you are sharing without worrying about post performance. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while.

Some observations about Post so far: 

- it’s refreshing to not have follow/follower counts list as social proof but it’s hard to find people in the same social graphs

- its relaxing to just see static images on a timeline but I do miss gifs

Gifs were definitely requested in the discord sever and Andy said photo picker / video / gif support is on their focus list !

I saw a post earlier than @andy is handpicking the Highlights. At least he’s not only featuring his own posts since there’s another platform for that 😜

It’ll be interesting to see the first sign of design twitter hot takes and how this group responds to it. I hope that having a clean new shiny thing will motivate people to keep it kind.

Algorithms 👀 I actually wonder what the algorithm is on here — but I enjoy (for now) the “Everyone” page. But in the future once this grows it might be more manageable to use “Following” or “Highlights”. We shall see!

Ohh! Fascinating. I’m so curious and excited to see what happens here.

It’s certainly worth a try. I know I feel more free lol. 

I’m also seeing a bigger swath of the design community than was ever the case on Twitter. I always felt like I saw the same people over and over again due to social graphs and recommendation algos.
