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

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.

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!

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 😜

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