i've been mostly off the twitter for a while now. i think it's been good for my attention span, and it's been terrific not seeing those writeups they have for trending topics. 'fans discuss harry rock's new hairstyle in go go adventure live!' or what the gently caress ever.

anyway i followed everyone here

generally the design is not completely successful, but good enough to launch with.

honestly i still suspect this'll go nowhere, but i'm on there and willing to give it a try. it has the upside of complementing the forums in format a bit, where some offsite things are just "lets go post exactly the same way somewhere else".

on the one hand; good; otoh there might be need for some way of collapsing posts, at least threads, because it does take some scrolling.

There's a little link that says "Hide XX Posts" (or "Show XX Posts" if you've got them hidden) that seems like it collapses threads like that to the OP and a couple of the latest replies.

things it badly needs:
1) push notifications. be it web notifications or an app
2) public followers lists
3) some kind of way to see active/popular posts. I know this gets into “algorithm” territory, but right now discoverability isn’t great.
4) better mobile layout. right now I get a full screen of menu when I want to see more posts.
5) public API

also you can turn this on by default in the settings. There's a checkbox for "hide middle of long threads by default?"

also the difference between between reply and comment isn't really clear. they seem to serve the same purpose, but comments aren't nearly as visible and there's no obvious way to see that there are new ones beyond the notifications page, which sucks

idk I’m sorta still figuring out where my online brand is and how/what I want to post. I don’t post pandas on this account. when I get around to actual hobby stuff I will probably post there. also I have and will post (sfw) furry stuff on there so maybe keep away if that’s not your thing

I’m also forgiving them a lot for “just” using some common flavor of markdown for styling.

yeah, was going to say that something in the realm of 3 (discoverability) would be needed eventually, but tbh it probably makes more sense to let it happen externally and organically.

one thing of note is if you know some html and css you can make some weird rear end poo poo and do a lot of advanced formatting
